About the Role

• Oversee help‑desk operations, ensuring tickets are resolved within SLA targets and that user satisfaction remains above 95%.
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and HR leaders to align technology initiatives with business goals.

• Proven expertise with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and infrastructure‑as‑code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Strong understanding of network security, VPN technologies, endpoint protection, and zero‑trust architectures.
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and collaboration tools (Slack, Teams, Zoom).
• Excellent communication skills—able to translate technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders.
• Relevant certifications such as ITIL, CISSP, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, or equivalent.
• Self‑starter mentality with a track record of driving projects to completion in a remote‑first culture.
