System Administrator

Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day health and configuration of one or more IT systems/services (identity, endpoint, collaboration, service management, etc.).
• Troubleshoot proactively - you don't just wait for tickets; you spot patterns and fix root causes.
• Design and propose improvements across multiple tools (e.g., consistent access models between Google Workspace and Slack).
• Build scalable lifecycle processes (onboarding, offboarding, device flows) in close collaboration with People/HR and managers.
• Create and maintain standards (endpoint setup procedures, naming conventions, access models) and keep documentation current.
• Define and implement monitoring/alerting requirements (e.g., VPN uptime, MDM compliance, service queue health) so the team can act before users notice.
• Run small-to-medium projects with clear boundaries: new SaaS rollouts, process improvements, lightweight automation, operational cleanups.
• Identify and reduce IT technical debt - balancing quick wins with sustainable change.
• You will be great for this role if you:
• Work independently and drive improvements without constant direction .
• Treat documentation as a core part of the job ("if it's not written down, it doesn't exist").
• Can move comfortably across multiple platforms (not just one favourite tool).
• See tickets as signals - and focus on the systems thinking behind them.
• Are comfortable with ambiguity and can turn "unclear" into "actionable".

• Experience across at least several of: Google Workspace, Entra ID/Azure AD, Intune, Jira/JSM, Slack, 1Password, VPN tooling .
