Position Overview
We are seeking a hands-on SQL Server DBA & User Support Specialist to provide part-time remote support for a Microsoft-based data environment.
This role blends database administration, documentation, and end-user support. The ideal candidate is technically strong in Microsoft SQL Server, methodical in documenting systems architecture, and comfortable interacting directly with business users.

• Perform user provisioning and deprovisioning
• Maintain backup/restore processes and data integrity
• Database Documentation & Schema Mapping
• Document database structure, schema relationships, and dependencies
• Create visual database architecture diagrams using:
• Microsoft Visio (preferred), or
• Lucidchart, Draw.io, ER/Studio, or similar tools
• Identify and map:
• Tables and key relationships
• Data flows
• Security roles and access controls
• Produce clear documentation for CIO-level review and future maintainability
• User Access & Security Administration
• Add, modify, and remove database users
• Manage roles and permissions in SQL Server
• Audit user access periodically
• Maintain least-privilege principles
• Coordinate with IT leadership on governance standards
• End-User Support
• Provide SQL-related user support
• Assist internal users with:
• Query troubleshooting
• Reporting data validation
• Access issues
• Translate technical issues into business-friendly explanations
• Escalate structural concerns to the Fractional CIO when appropriate
• Reporting & Communication
• Provide regular status updates to the Fractional CIO
• Maintain documentation repository
• Recommend improvements to structure, performance, or governance
• Flag risk areas (data redundancy, access exposure, schema inconsistency)
Required Technical Skills
• Strong experience with Microsoft SQL Server
• Proficiency in:
• T-SQL
• Stored procedures
• Index optimization
• Schema design
• Experience with:
• SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
• SQL Server security roles & permissions
• Ability to document systems visually (Visio or equivalent)
• Experience supporting business users directly
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with:
• Azure SQL / Microsoft Azure ecosystem
• SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
• Power BI data sources
• Microsoft Active Directory integration
• Prior experience reporting to a CIO or IT leadership
• Experience in a small-to-mid-sized business environment
• Exposure to data governance or compliance frameworks
Soft Skills
• Organized and documentation-oriented
• Clear communicator (written and verbal)
• Independent, self-directed work style
• Able to balance technical work with user-facing support
• Professional, responsive, and accountable
Engagement Details
• Part-time (estimated 10–20 hours per week)
• Flexible scheduling
• Remote work
• Contract engagement
• Hourly compensation commensurate with experience
Ideal Profile
This role is well-suited for:
• An experienced SQL DBA seeking flexible consulting work
• A mid-to-senior database professional who enjoys hands-on execution
• A technical professional comfortable wearing both DBA and support hats
