Job Title IT & Automations Lead
Department Technology / Operations
Reports To Director of Operations / Leadership
Location New York, NY (In-Office)
Employment Type Full-Time
Industry Healthcare / ABA Therapy Services
HIPAA Required Yes — healthcare experience and HIPAA compliance knowledge required
LBAPS is seeking an IT & Automations Lead to own the full technology infrastructure of a
fast-moving, multi-state ABA therapy organization. This is not a help desk role. You will be the
single owner of everything from our in-house Synology NAS and Cloudways-hosted WordPress
network to our Google Workspace environment, n8n and Zapier automations, Woodpecker
outreach infrastructure, and company-wide security posture. If it runs on a server, sends an
automated email, or connects two systems together — it is yours.
Scope of This Role
LBAPS operates 50+ WordPress websites across 12+ states, a self-hosted automation
stack, an in-house Synology NAS file server, multi-state email infrastructure, and a
Woodpecker-based outreach system serving multiple teams. This role keeps all of it
running, secured, and improving.
What You'll Own
• Administer and maintain Google Workspace across the organization — account
provisioning, 2-Step Verification enforcement, access management, and offboarding
• Own and maintain the in-house Synology NAS — drive health monitoring, user access,
backup integrity, and quarterly restore testing
• Manage Cloudways hosting for 50+ WordPress/Elementor sites across 12+ states —
plugin updates, server health, SSL certificates, and uptime
• Manage DNS records across Cloudflare and Ionos — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and
subdomain configuration for all sending accounts
• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot n8n (self-hosted) and Zapier automation workflows
connecting forms, CRMs, and outreach platforms
• Set up and manage Woodpecker sending accounts — new email onboarding,
subdomain authentication, campaign monitoring, and deliverability maintenance
• Implement and maintain a company-wide SSO and password management system
• Lead HIPAA security training for all staff — phishing awareness, device security, and incident response
• Monitor and maintain Google Tag Manager across all active sites
• Support the automation of rep outreach workflows — replacing manual form-based
processes with fully automated n8n/Zapier triggers
Required Qualifications
• Minimum 3 years of IT, systems administration, or automation engineering experience
• Prior experience working in a HIPAA-regulated healthcare environment —
understanding of PHI handling, data security obligations, and compliance requirements
• Hands-on experience with n8n, Zapier, or comparable workflow automation platforms
• Experience administering Google Workspace at the organizational level
• Experience managing WordPress/Elementor sites at scale — plugin management, hosting, DNS, and SSL
• Working knowledge of email authentication: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration
• Familiarity with NAS devices — Synology preferred
• Understanding of cold email infrastructure — sending domains, subdomains, deliverability, and warm-up protocols
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Cloud ways or similar managed cloud hosting platforms
• Familiarity with Woodpecker or similar cold outreach platforms
• Experience implementing SSO solutions (Google Workspace SSO, 1Password Teams, Bitwarden, or similar)
• Background in healthcare IT, behavioral health, or multi-site service organizations
• Experience with Airtable as an operational hub
• Familiarity with Cloudflare for DNS management and security
Technical Environment
You will be stepping into an existing infrastructure. Here is what you are inheriting:
File Server Synology NAS (P3 Agency) — file storage and backups, on-premises
Web Hosting Cloudways — 50+ WordPress/Elementor sites across 12+ states
Domain / DNS Cloudflare and Ionos
Email / Admin Google Workspace — organization-wide admin access
Automation n8n (self-hosted) + Zapier — form routing and lead automation
Outreach Woodpecker — cold email sequences for referral partners and reactivation
Email Marketing Brevo — currently dormant, may be reactivated
Task & Ops Hub Airtable — all credentials, workflows, and vendor contacts live here
Tracking Google Tag Manager + FullSession across all active sites
