  • Supervise, mentor, and develop IT operations and help desk staff, establishing priorities, service standards, and expectations for operational performance.
  • Manage IT assets, hardware and software lifecycles, licensing, vendors, service providers, procurement, renewals, and support escalations.
  • Monitor and report operational KPIs, system health, service levels, risks, and improvement initiatives to leadership, and support additional responsibilities based on business needs.

  • Hands-on experience administering Microsoft 365 and Azure/Entra ID environments, with experience supporting cloud infrastructure.
  • Strong understanding of endpoint management, patching, identity and access management, and IT security best practices.
  • Familiarity with NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, or similar security and compliance frameworks.
  • Strong problem-solving, organizational, prioritization, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and non-technical stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
