About Us
CMB is a full-service custom market research and strategy firm based in Boston. As a Top 30 Insights & Analytics company, we’re known for our relentless business-decision focus and cutting-edge creativity. Our passion is helping the world’s leading brands engage, innovate, and grow. We leverage the best of advanced analytics, consumer psychology, and market strategy to tackle game-changing initiatives and business challenges for our clients.
What about our culture? Simply put, our people are our power. We have a diverse, inclusive and collaborative team of bright perspectives and curious minds. At CMB you’ll have plenty of opportunities to achieve your full potential. From learning new skills, expanding your expertise, and continuing to advance your professional development, you will feel supported and valued. 
Our benefits say a lot about how much we value our employees: we offer a fully paid sabbatical, a $250 wellness stipend, paid time off to volunteer, generous medical plans, a 401k match, and more. Every employee also gets to enjoy an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).
ESOP? Yes, we are 100% employee owned! An ESOP is a qualified retirement plan, similar to a 401k, but you don’t have to make any contributions to participate in the rewards. When we each work hard to provide exceptional service and deliverables to our clients, the positive performance of the company increases the value of our stock and enables the accumulation of wealth for all our employee-owners.
About the Position
As the Systems Supervisor for CMB, you will be responsible for managing the desktop and network capabilities of the organization. You will report to the VP, Information Technology and will be responsible for the performance of the firm’s network, workstation, connectivity, security, telecom and compliance services.

You will partner with our managed service provider (MSP) and vendors to support the technology and process needs of a mobile workforce engaged in time-sensitive and confidential analytic initiatives. This position requires exceptional customer service and collaboration abilities, attention to detail, prioritization skills and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team. 
This is a hybrid position that sits in our Boston office. This is not a remote position.
About You
You’re an information technology whiz who loves anything to do with systems and networks. In fact, you read articles, blogs and just about anything else “IT” in your spare time.

Customer service comes easy to you, and helping people is what you’re all about. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, and you stay calm under pressure - even when it seems like there’s no end in sight. That’s just who you are.
