Why This Role Is Attractive

  • You enjoy significant autonomy, leading everything from issue analysis to proposal and implementation.

  • You apply ITIL and ITSM best practices to build mechanisms that enhance operational quality.

Location

  • You can work remotely (2–3 days per week in office; location may vary by project).

Working Conditions

  • Your working hours: 9:00–17:36 (7.6 hours per day, 1-hour break).

  • Bonus: twice a year (June and December).

Work Style

  • Hybrid work (remote + office).

  • Smooth information sharing and collaborative environment.

  • Culture emphasizing work-life balance.
