• Comfortable with configuration and platform administration.
• Ability to grasp SaaS architecture and system dependencies; analytical problem‑solver.
• Commercial awareness of how technical enablement drives retention and growth.
• Excellent communication – explain complex concepts clearly; strong documentation skills.
• Organised, detail‑driven, able to prioritise across multiple workstreams in a fast pace.
• Team player who’s happy to roll up sleeves and operate autonomously when needed.
