OUR COMPANY

We turn value creation strategies into action, helping investors and portfolio companies execute with speed and precision. Singulier is an AI, technology and data consultancy helping corporates and private equity firms turn digital ambition into measurable business impact. Singulier is now part of a wider European group with OMMAX, bringing together teams across multiple European offices and a broad set of technology, data and AI capabilities.

The mission of the IT Support Specialist is to provide friendly, practical and reliable day-to-day support to colleagues in our Paris office and, where required, to colleagues across the wider group.

This is a hands-on, entry-level role.

You will work closely with the central IT team and external or specialist support providers, escalating more complex issues when needed.

The role is suited to someone at the start of their IT career who enjoys solving problems, helping people and learning how a modern, international technology environment operates.
