We are dedicated to "Delivering Comfort Consistently" to hospitality, commercial, and multi-family markets. We accomplish this through exceptional product availability, local warehousing, best-in-industry warranty and a dedication to on-time error-free delivery of room cooling products. Our impact is felt in hundreds of thousands of apartments and hotel rooms, with a visionary goal to surpass 60,000 units sold annually by 2030.

Who we need Reporting to the Director of Supply Chain and Information Technology, we are hiring an Business Systems Administrator to play a key role in the stability, security, and performance of Genuine Comfort's IT environment. In this newly created role, you will ensure reliable day to day access, usability, and security across core business systems. You will provide hands on technical support to employees, administer cloud based platforms, and support database operations so that data remains accurate, secure, and readily available. You will take ownership of system configuration, user access, and security administration across the organization, helping to establish consistency, resilience, and strong governance practices. In addition, you will develop and deliver training on IT processes and procedures to support adoption, compliance, and continuous improvement. As a trusted subject matter expert, you will partner with teams across the business to support IT projects and contribute to ongoing system enhancements that improve how people work every day.
Full time position, working four days per week on site in our Markham, Ontario office and one day remotely.
What's in it for you Ownership. You want a high impact position with a broad scope and influence. This is the only dedicated IT role in the business, blending technical support, systems administration, security, and foundational data support. You will play a key role in moving the organization from ad hoc support to structured, documented, and scalable IT practices.
Growth and exposure. You want to deepen your skills in data and analytics. While core priorities focus on systems, security, and support, you will be supported in learning and expanding into data, reporting, and analytics over time. You will own and continuously improve the ticketing environment, workflows, knowledge base, and training content, increasing visibility across the organization and working closely with stakeholders at all levels.
A supportive growth culture. Joining us at a time of growth offers the opportunity to increase your exposure and accelerate your career. You will be part of a collaborative team that operates with initiative to drive the business forward. As part of our core value: "We are actively looking for opportunities to improve the effectiveness of our roles and take proactive action on them.
We don't ask for permission; we ask for vision (the why) and the guardrails to operate in."
What you will do
- Administer core business applications. Use a cloud first environment, including ERP systems, SaaS platforms, Microsoft 365, cloud storage, endpoint security, and identity management. Manage user access, credentials, MFA, and security configurations across business systems, oversee onboarding and offboarding, monitor integrations, and coordinate issue resolution with vendors and internal teams. Support system maintenance and upgrades while ensuring security and compliance standards are met.
- Deliver technical support. Provide hands on support for hardware, software, access, and connectivity issues while building consistent, reliable service delivery practices. Implement and continuously improve a formal ticketing system, moving the organization from informal support to a structured, measurable service model. Communicate clearly with stakeholders, manage escalations, and help maintain a high level of user satisfaction, while contributing to vendor selection and management.
- Operate and safeguard business data. Support day to day database operations, including monitoring scheduled jobs, validating data feeds, and performing backups and integrity checks. Work with internal teams to extract and load data into SQL tables and enable reporting and analytics initiatives, including Power BI. Contribute to data accuracy, reliability, and documentation.
- Build documentation and enable self service. Create and maintain SOPs, knowledge base articles, and practical "how to" guides that enable users to resolve common issues independently. Focus on reducing reactive support through documentation, standardization, and repeatable processes. Analyze recurring issues and recommend improvements to strengthen long term support outcomes.
- Manage endpoints and IT assets. Oversee the full lifecycle of endpoints, including configuration, deployment, tracking, and retirement. Maintain accurate asset inventories, ensure devices meet security standards, troubleshoot hardware issues, and coordinate vendor support when needed.
What you bring
- The experience. Experience in software development, integrations, APIs, or working with ERP vendors and external IT service providers. Customer first approach, transparent communication with non technical users, and creation of documentation, SOPs, and user guides that support adoption and self service. Experience supporting multi site environments across Canada and the U.S. and working within an ITSM or ticketing platform is an asset. Comfortable owning issues end to end and identifying opportunities to improve processes and service delivery.
- The technical skills. Experience administering cloud based and SaaS environments and acting as the primary administrator for core business systems. Background includes end user support across hardware, software, access, and connectivity,
along with identity and access management, MFA, and endpoint security. Comfortable managing credentials, permissions, and system stability in a cloud first environment. Exposure to SQL, database operations, or reporting tools such as Power BI is an asset, as is familiarity with scripting or automation tools such as Python or PowerShell.
- Communication and collaboration. Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to translate technical concepts for non technical audiences with patience and empathy. Build trust through clarity, reliability, and accountability and handle escalations with professionalism.
- Adaptability and resilience. Thrive in environments with ambiguity and changing priorities. Comfortable being the sole in house IT resource and continuously improving how technology supports the business.
