Expect roughly a 50/50 split between managed services support and Consulting with hands-on build and enhancement work.

We're a destination team. That means we're looking for people who want to grow technically, take ownership, provide consulting to our customers — not just respond to tickets.

• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• The ability to gather and scope customer requirements, document your work, and deliver
• Strong communication skills and a genuine enjoyment of working with customers and colleagues
• A proactive mindset - you spot problems and move toward solutions rather than waiting to be asked
