Catapult is seeking a proactive and highly‑organized IT Support Technician to serve as the technical anchor for our EMEA support operations. This is a dual‑pronged role: you will act as the dedicated IT Site Lead for our Leeds office, owning all on‑site infrastructure and AV, while simultaneously driving high‑quality remote support for 200+ employees across the broader EMEA region. As a vital member of our Technology Operations group, you will collaborate with your Global IT colleagues in the UK, US, and Australia to streamline service delivery and ensure a secure, white‑glove onboarding experience.

This role will work closely with our IT Systems Engineer, who is based in the London office, and reports to the Director of IT in Boston. The ideal candidate is a self‑starter who balances technical mastery with the collaborative autonomy needed to manage a regional site independently.

• Local Site Lead: Act as the primary on‑site IT lead for the Leeds office (30+ users), serving as the sole point of contact for desk‑side support and the proactive management of office‑wide AV, conferencing, and infrastructure assets.
• EMEA Technical Service Delivery: Drive high‑quality support operations for 200+ cross‑functional staff in EMEA, both on‑site and remote, ensuring minimal downtime through proactive ticket management and rapid issue resolution.
• Knowledge Management: Develop and maintain high‑quality internal documentation, including "how‑to" guides for employees and technical runbooks for the Global IT team, ensuring a consistent and scalable support experience for users.
• Onboarding & Offboarding: Own the onboarding and offboarding processes for the region, continuously improving the delivery of IT equipment and training to ensure every new team member is fully equipped and secure from their first day.
• Asset Lifecycle Management: Manage IT hardware for the Leeds office and remote EMEA workforce, including strategic procurement, inventory auditing, and the deployment of standardized equipment.
• Identity & Access Management (IAM): Execute secure user lifecycle operations (including provisioning and deprovisioning), ensuring strict adherence to security protocols and internal compliance standards.

• Education & Experience: Completion of a Level 4 IT Apprenticeship or equivalent vocational qualification (BTEC Higher Nationals), and/or 2+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Office Presence: This is a hybrid role based out of our Leeds office. You should be comfortable working on‑site 3 to 5 days per week to support our local infrastructure and team, with up to 2 days per week working remotely.
• Multi-Platform Expertise: Experience supporting a hybrid Windows and macOS environment, including hands‑on administration of enterprise hardware and unified endpoint management (UEM) solutions (such as Jamf, Intune, or Kandji/Iru).
• Systems Administration & Automation: Proficiency in Google Workspace and the Atlassian Suite (Jira Service Management & Confluence), with the ability to build Jira automations that streamline ticketing workflows.
• Hardware & Infrastructure Lifecycle: Proven ability to oversee office AV and networking peripherals while maintaining a high‑standard asset management process for a distributed EMEA workforce, from initial procurement to final decommissioning.
• Service Excellence & Problem Solving: Exceptional troubleshooting and customer support skills, and the ability to balance on‑site priorities with a high‑volume SLA‑driven remote support queue across different time zones.
• Collaborative Autonomy: The ability to work effectively within a global IT team under minimal supervision, combining excellent communication skills with a collaborative approach to achieve regional and strategic goals.

• After 6 months: You have established yourself as the trusted primary contact for the Leeds office, maintaining 99.5% uptime for local AV and conferencing systems. You are navigating the Windows/macOS hybrid environment with ease and have taken ownership of Jira Service Management, including the implementation of at least two new automations to improve ticket routing.
• After 12 months: You operate with full autonomy, managing the Leeds site and the EMEA remote queue with such consistency that the Global IT team views the region as a gold standard for service delivery. You have streamlined the EMEA onboarding process, ensuring every new hire receives their equipment and access before their start date, with a white‑glove orientation experience.
