Description

• Assist in building and maintaining a world-class IT training academy that uses creative, innovative approaches to genuinely change how people use technology
• Partner with department leads to understand their processes, challenge their assumptions, and co-create better ways of working
• Manage and optimize our SaaS platform ecosystem, ensuring everything that should talk to everything actually does
• Develop repeatable automation models that can be applied across functions, creating enterprise-wide process parity
• Manage endpoints and ensure employees and their data are always safe, optimized, and performing at their best

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• An almost irrational love of solving the underlying problems that make employee experiences poor, especially the ones nobody has named yet
• The ability to context-switch fluidly between enterprise vision and individual employee need without losing altitude on either
• Demonstrated experience with SaaS platforms, APIs, and automation tools - you don't just know they exist, you've made them do things people thought weren't possible
• A track record of transforming broken workflows and not just fixing them but reimagining them from the ground up
• The emotional intelligence to bring people along on a change journey rather than dragging them
• An extraordinary customer orientation in which you remember names, you follow up without being asked, and you never let someone feel like their problem isn't important
• 5 years of experience in a customer-facing IT role where you wore many hats and thrived because of it, not despite it
• Proven ability to prioritize ruthlessly across competing demands without dropping balls or deprioritizing people
• You've built automations that made someone say "how did we ever live without this"
• You've created training programs people actually wanted to attend
• You understand that Airtable, Zapier, and similar tools are not just nice-to-haves but genuinely transformative weapons in the right hands
• You've worked in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment and you secretly loved the creative problem-solving it demanded
• You are proficient with and an evangelist of powerful SaaS platforms including Google Suite, Slack, Lucidchart, Smartsheet, Airtable, Office365, and similar
• You have an intuitive understanding of how unstructured data should be managed, moved, and made useful
• You've thought about AI not as a buzzword but as a practical tool for making workflows smarter
