IT Alignment Analyst

A locally owned Austin-based IT Managed Service Provider (MSP) is seeking a full-time IT Alignment Analyst to support customer compliance, security, and best-practice alignment initiatives.

IT Alignment refers to evaluating whether customer IT systems and solutions comply with internal minimum standards, industry best practices, and established frameworks such as NIST, CMMC, SOC 2, and similar standards.

Role Overview

The IT Alignment Analyst is responsible for assessing, documenting, and reporting on the alignment of customer IT environments against defined standards. This role works closely with customers and internal technical teams to identify gaps, recommend improvements, and assist with remediation efforts.

Due to the need for on-site customer work, candidates must be based in the Austin, TX metro area.

This role is not a traditional helpdesk or ticket-queue position. While a general technical background is required, the primary focus is on analysis, documentation, assessment, and standards alignment, rather than day-to-day end-user support.
