Job Description

We are looking for a strategic and technically grounded Manager II, IT Engineering (Operations & Support) to lead our global IT Operations and Regional IT Support teams from our Valencia HQ (hybrid model).

• SaaS-as-Code Ownership: Partner with internal CPE/Cloud teams to transition core platforms into a Terraform-managed environment. Lead IT Ops in managing systems through code rather than manual consoles.
• Operational Excellence: Apply Lean IT principles to analyze support data and ticketing trends, streamlining and documenting scalable processes prior to automation.
• Capacity & Project Management: Utilize Agile/Kanban to balance bandwidth across Tier 3 operations, end-user support, and strategic projects (including M&A integrations and tool consolidations).
• Governance & Compliance: Own Access Recertification, User Access Reviews (UAR), and IT audit controls (including SOC2), driving automation to make compliance frictionless.

• Exposure to Terraform or infrastructure-as-code (IaC) applied to SaaS management.
