  • Operational Excellence: Address and resolve system-related issues with minimal disruption, ensuring seamless business operations.

  • Performance Reporting: Generate regular reports on system performance, project milestones, and other key metrics to keep the organization informed.

  • Diversity Advocate: You understand the value of diverse perspectives and are passionate about fostering an inclusive team environment, welcoming candidates from various cultures and backgrounds.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Education: Degree in IT or business management, or equivalent skills and knowledge gained through experience.
  • Application Support Expertise: Extensive experience in managing application operational support and asset management within a complex business environment, with a strong track record of building solid business relationships.
