Job Summary

This role requires flexibility to support both corporate offices and family households in person. The candidate should be willing and able to travel between office locations and family residences, as needed, to provide on-site support. While day-to-day responsibilities can often be coordinated remotely in partnership with the MSP, regular in-person presence at both office locations (ideally one day per week at each) is required to build relationships, address issues proactively, and provide hands-on support. Additional visits to family residences or offices may be required from time to time for projects, troubleshooting, or urgent support needs. Willingness to provide after-hours support and respond to urgent issues on an as needed basis is critical.
