It Associate (Remote)

Job Description
Forbes Marketplace, a dynamic and fully remote company with approximately 600 employees, is seeking an IT Associate to play a crucial role in maintaining and advancing our IT infrastructure, security, and operations.

Support efforts to deduplicate our suite of third-party software products, creating a single consistent tool suite across all business areas.
Support the standardization of account provision within third party systems implementing SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Establish and operate a process to periodically review whether employees still need access to the systems which they’re licensed for in order to keep software costs in check.
Vendor Relationships:
Interact with and maintain relationships with assigned vendors.
