Summary

We are looking for an experienced Google Workspace Administrator to audit, secure, and structure our Google Workspace setup. Key immediate priorities include evaluating domain security settings, ensuring complete company ownership of all Drive assets, reconfiguring role-based permissions, setting up Google Vault, and refining current onboarding/offboarding workflows. In this role, you will report directly to the IT Director. Key Responsibilities: Access Control & Permissions: Refine current Organizational Units (OUs), or Groups, to restrict access to sensitive data (e.g., Accounting, HR) to authorized personnel only. Shared Drive Architecture: Reconfigure file management to transition from company-wide access level to data within Shared Drives, ensuring OU access levels are followed on existing files and folders. Onboarding & Offboarding Workflows: Audit our existing documentation and build a secure, streamlined, and repeatable protocol that could be executed by multiple team members with non-technical backgrounds. Security & Workspace Audit: Review current domain settings, user permissions, external sharing rules, and security controls; provide recommendations for immediate security risk mitigation. AI Best Practices: Review our current settings companywide, and suggest any limitations on access to data by the application or by the user, with the main focus on the security of client-owned data, as well as our own data. Documentation & Handover: Provide a simple admin playbook for ongoing operations and host a short training walkthrough with our internal team.
