About the role
IT Operations Specialist at 2 Hour Learning
You are seeking ownership of the infrastructure that enables an organization to function. If you have operated endpoint fleets, managed SaaS access, and coordinated procurement under real deadlines, this position will represent a meaningful advancement. If you favor slow-moving IT environments where change is rare and delivery timelines are not your concern, this opportunity is not the right match.
2 Hour Learning is expanding a new approach to K-12 education powered by AI-driven personalized learning. As campuses open on a consistent schedule, the line between 'prepared' and 'unprepared' is frequently determined by fundamental operational execution: the correct devices, provisioned and enrolled; the correct SaaS licenses, active and assigned; the correct communications tools, configured and tested.
In this position, you will oversee device procurement from Dell, HP, Apple, and Lenovo; operate MDM (mobile device management) and provisioning workflows; manage SaaS accounts and renewals spanning 14+ platforms; and deliver the campus technology onboarding playbook (including Google Voice, Zoom Phone, and Zoom Rooms). You will document effective practices, refine the SOPs, and leverage AI tools to automate recurring tasks.
If you seek defined ownership, quantifiable results, and the momentum of an expanding school network, we would like to meet you.
What You Will Be Doing
- Manage complete device procurement cycles across Dell, HP, Apple, and Lenovo, monitoring lead times and delivery schedules to ensure campuses receive necessary equipment before launch dates.
- Provision, image, enroll, and manage the lifecycle of student and staff devices via an MDM platform, maintaining precise asset records across all campuses.
- Operate SaaS accounts, permissions, and licenses across 14+ platforms, anticipating utilization thresholds and renewal dates to avoid access interruptions.
- Implement the new-campus technology onboarding playbook, preparing devices, provisioning systems, and configuring Google Voice, Zoom Phone, and Zoom Rooms prior to day one.
- Develop and maintain SOPs, runbooks, and launch checklists, refining them with each campus onboarding and automating recurring steps using AI tools.
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Operating as a queue-driven helpdesk agent whose performance is evaluated by ticket counts.
- Developing long-term IT architecture or engaging in strategic discussions while launch schedules fall behind.
- Managing unplanned purchasing without inventory tracking, vendor management, or documented specifications.
- Relying on others to document processes (you will ensure launches are repeatable, not reliant on institutional memory).
IT Operations Specialist Key Responsibilities
This position ensures that every campus launches and operates on time because devices, SaaS access, and launch technology systems are completely provisioned and operational before day one.
Basic Requirements
- Currently located in the United States and authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship.
- Willing and able to travel periodically to US campuses.
- Experience operating an MDM (mobile device management) platform such as ManageEngine, Jamf, Intune, Mosyle, or equivalent.
- Practical experience deploying and supporting end-user devices (laptops or tablets), including provisioning/imaging and troubleshooting.
- Experience operating SaaS platforms, including account provisioning, permissions management, and license management.
- Experience managing hardware procurement and delivery logistics and/or operating asset tracking workflows.
- Evidence of developing or maintaining operational documentation such as SOPs, runbooks, or playbooks.
- Demonstrated use of AI tools to troubleshoot technical problems or automate repetitive operational workflows.
Nice-to-have Requirements
- Experience supporting a distributed, multi-site environment where inventory, spares, and repairs must be managed across locations.
- Strong track record of building simple automations that reduce manual provisioning and reporting work.
- Experience configuring or administering communication tools such as Google Voice, Zoom Phone, or Zoom Rooms.
