  • Act as a bridge between contributors and internal service teams, providing feedback to improve systems, processes, and tools.

  • Manage IT vendors, including procurement, onboarding, performance management, renewals, and off-boarding.

  • Oversee IT asset procurement, inventory management, device lifecycle, and software licence management.

  • Operate within the vendor governance framework defined by senior technology leadership, ensuring alignment with organisation-wide standards and policies.

  • Develop and report on key IT support metrics, including service performance, user satisfaction, recurring issues, and improvement initiatives.

  • Contribute to broader IT strategy by sharing insights from support trends, operational data, and contributor feedback.

Requirements
  • 5+ years of experience in IT support, IT operations, or IT management, ideally within a remote-first or distributed organisation.

  • Experience managing or coordinating a support team, service desk, or internal IT function.

  • Strong troubleshooting ability across common operating systems, end-user devices, productivity tools, SaaS platforms, and access-related issues.

  • Good understanding of networking fundamentals, including VPNs, DNS, IP configuration, connectivity issues, and common remote-working setups.

  • Technical proficiency across operating systems, APIs, SaaS solutions, device management, and IT administration tools.

  • Experience working with DevOps, SecOps, infrastructure, or security teams to resolve cross-functional technical issues.

  • Strong vendor management experience, including procurement, renewals, performance management, and cost optimisation.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritise effectively, and drive work through to completion.

  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate technical issues into clear, practical guidance.

  • Experience with IT policies, support documentation, process design, and operational reporting.

  • Budget management, risk assessment, and mitigation experience.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field preferred.

  • Relevant certifications such as ITIL, CompTIA A+, or equivalent practical experience preferred.

  • English level: B2+.
