• Prepare and configure workstations and accessories for new joiners.
• Offer guidance and training to colleagues on how to get the most out of our IT systems and tools.
• Collaborate with other departments and IT teams to resolve complex issues and support local equipment needs.
• Deliver excellent customer service, ensuring every interaction is courteous, clear, and solution-focused.
• Stay up to date with the latest in IT systems and tools, and contribute to internal knowledge sharing.
• Create and maintain clear documentation for technical procedures, processes, and user guides.
• Keep IT inventory accurate and up to date, including annual stock counts.
• Get involved in IT projects and take initiative where you see opportunities to improve.
• Travel to attend other sites when required.

We’re after someone who’s not just technically capable, but also thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment. Ideally, you’ll bring:

• A degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Around 3 years of experience in a similar helpdesk or technical support role, ideally within a multi-site, international organisation.
• Solid knowledge of computer systems, software, and hardware – including Windows 11, macOS, and Linux (Ubuntu experience is a definite plus).
• Familiarity with tools such as Intune, Jamf, Jamf-Connect, Microsoft 365 admin (Exchange, Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint), Trellix/Defender, GlobalProtect VPN, Microsoft Entra ID, and on-prem Active Directory.
• Experience with firewall rule configuration and setting up Site-to-Site VPNs is a bonus.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate clearly and confidently.
• A proactive, self-motivated approach with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Strong organisational and time management skills to juggle multiple priorities.
• Fluency in English is essential – additional languages (especially French) are a plus.

• Certifications such as ITIL or similar are a welcome addition.
