• Innovation & Automation: Partner with cross-functional teams to champion digi-tal transformation projects, IT compliance automation, and enterprise AI use cas-es.

• Cost Management: Effectively manage the team budget and optimize resource costs within the approved annual plan.
Your Background & Qualifications

• Infrastructure & Cloud: Strong practical knowledge of enterprise OS (Windows Server, Linux, Pacemaker HA) and modern cloud architectures, preferably MS Azure.
• Leadership Style: A proven "player-coach" who takes strong ownership of deliv-erables, system stability, and team growth.
• Mindset & Soft Skills: Highly passionate about exploring new technologies, pos-sessing strategic/structural thinking, and demonstrating excellent presentation skills to bridge technical and business contexts.
