  • Ensure business continuity by maintaining Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans (BCP/DR) and leading incident response processes
  • Drive key technical initiatives (infrastructure modernization, cloud migration, process automation)
  • Develop and continuously improve ITSM processes, SLA governance, and user satisfaction measurement
Qualifications and Skills
  • 7+ years of experience in IT, including at least 2 years in a leadership role
  • Proven experience leading cross-functional teams across IT Support, Infrastructure, and Information Security functions

  • Advanced academic background (Master’s degree or MBA) and/or relevant professional certifications in IT management or information security
We offer multiple benefits that include
