Employment Type: Full-Time, Exempt

The Opportunity
This is not a password-reset job. This is not a ticket-closer role.
This is a Tier 3, final-escalation, systems-thinking, accountability-driven role for someone who takes ownership when the stakes are high and ambiguity is real.
At Alpha Inc., the Senior IT Analyst is the person others call when the problem doesn't fit the playbook — when systems collide, controls matter, executives are impacted, and "good enough" is not an option.
You'll operate at the intersection of technology, compliance, automation, and people, ensuring IT services are reliable, auditable, secure, and actually usable. You'll partner closely with System Admins and Security teams, serve as white-glove support for executive leadership, and help build the operational backbone that allows Alpha to scale across Hawaiʻi.
If you're wired to own outcomes, not just tasks — keep reading.

Our culture is grounded in three core values:
- Lead with Heart – Respect, humility, and care for people come first.
- Strength in Unity – One team, many talents; no silos, no egos.

This role is critical to protecting those values through strong systems, secure access, and operational excellence.
