• Collaborate Globally: Work with IT colleagues across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas to ensure effective communication, escalation, and handovers.
• Improve IT Processes: Maintain documentation, contribute to our knowledge base, identify recurring issues, and recommend improvements to support workflows.
• Take Initiative and Ownership: Independently investigate and resolve technical issues, proactively communicate blockers, and escalate complex situations when appropriate.

We're Definitely Looking for You If You Have:

• Strong hands-on troubleshooting experience with macOS and Windows in a corporate environment.
• Experience with enterprise identity and access management, including user provisioning, SSO, MFA, and account permissions.

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including DNS, DHCP, VPN, Wi-Fi, and basic connectivity troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with endpoint management, device security, and basic IT compliance practices.
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills and a strong customer-service mindset.
• Ability to work independently, troubleshoot unfamiliar problems, and make sound decisions with limited supervision.
• Strong organizational skills, accountability, attention to detail, and a proactive approach to communication.
• Ability to work the designated early APAC shift and collaborate effectively with colleagues across global time zones.

It's a Plus If You Have:

• Experience with MDM solutions such as Jamf, Kandji/Iru, Microsoft Intune, or Workspace ONE.
• Hands-on experience administering Google Workspace.
• Experience supporting Apple devices in a predominantly macOS environment.
• Familiarity with Slack administration and enterprise SaaS applications.
