Senior IT Consultant

About the role

Pliancy is fundamentally changing the way businesses value technology. We're on a mission to prove that the right technology (and the right technologists) can help accelerate progress toward radical, ambitious goals. Pliancy specializes in partnering with life sciences organizations, capital management firms, and emerging startups, providing IT support to bold leaders pushing science and technology forward. Our employees and clients find that we're starkly different from other IT organizations because we challenge the status quo in two major ways: by putting people first in every decision we make, and by innovating towards simplicity every chance we get. As a people-first company that invests in the long-term success of our employees, we're looking for creative thinkers who like to solve interesting problems. We prioritize curiosity and empathy in all of our hiring decisions. What's an average day like? The clients you'll work with are primarily life sciences organizations and capital management firms (likely venture capital, private equity, or hedge funds) . Pliancy prides itself on working with clients who respect our team and expertise. You will typically be integrated with your assigned client(s), focusing on meeting their IT operational needs. You'll get to solve interesting, important challenges in collaboration with teammates who have a passion for technology and helping people. If you love innovating, building relationships, and socializing with fellow team members, you'll love our culture. A typical week is a mix of four-hour and eight-hour scheduled site visits consulting with your primary clients, researching solutions, implementing projects, using technology to improve processes and workflows, improving documentation, training users, and responding to ad-hoc requests. When not scheduled at your clients' sites, you may drop in at the local office to collaborate with a coworker on pending issues. The remainder of the time is spent with the team on internal solutions, special projects, ticket escalations, and learning new technologies. Who are we looking for? You are passionate about technology and love learning new things. You're an attentive, curious person who loves connecting with the people you support and working in a team environment. To you, clients are people, not just ticket numbers or cases to solve; you build relationships and, as a by-product, you build trust. Few things make you feel better at the end of a workday than helping your team work swiftly and efficiently toward a common goal. You look out for your clients and colleagues, and they're grateful for your responsiveness. You enjoy solving business problems through the clever use of emerging technologies, often pioneering the adoption of new tools.
