This role is ideal for a professional with a natural inquisitiveness and a passion for understanding the 'why' behind technical challenges, enabling you to devise effective and creative solutions. You will be the face of IT for the Sydney office, and your ability to provide exceptional service is paramount.

A critical component of this role is your expert-level knowledge of the Microsoft 365 stack, including the configuration of Intune and conditional access policies.

• Collaborate with senior engineers on cloud projects, migrations, acquisitions, and the implementation of new technologies.
• Stay current with emerging cloud trends and technologies.

Soft Skills:

• Communicate clearly and effectively, translating technical details into straightforward information for colleagues and end‑users.
• Build productive working relationships across IT teams and business units through collaboration and dependability.
• Strong communication skills that balance accuracy with hospitality and approachability.
• Demonstrate curiosity and a proactive approach to learning new technologies and adapting to evolving technologies.
• Stay composed and solution‑oriented when navigating complex or ambiguous technical issues.
• Maintain a service‑focused mindset, prioritizing responsiveness and high‑quality support for users across the firm.
• Take ownership of tasks and contribute to team reliability by following through, sharing knowledge, and supporting peers.
