- Managing user setup, moves, leavers and hardware support
- Working alongside development and QA teams on bug fixes and testing
- Reporting on ITSM performance to the IT & Development Manager
- Supporting the running of IT projects
What we're looking for:
- Strong working knowledge of the ITIL framework, with real experience implementing its core principles
- Experience implementing and supporting an ITSM helpdesk and business workflow system
- A track record of working with internal business teams to streamline IT support
- Experience with on‑premise to cloud migration, particularly Azure, including familiarity with Microsoft's landing zones infrastructure
