Your Mission ]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]"> You’ll own our shift from local, server-centric setups to a cloud-first reality - and make it visible in colleagues’ day-to-day work across our sites. Aligned with the Director of IT, you drive end-to-end delivery: turn complex migrations into smooth cutovers, keep operations dependable, and uphold pragmatic, auditable platform standards. As a trusted sparring partner and hands-on lead (no line management), you mentor teammates, steer partners to outcomes, and practice thoughtful extreme ownership so the right improvements ship, stick, and scale. Your Responsibilities Projects: M&A Local-to-Cloud & Tenant Alignment Scope & deliver migrations (identities, devices, data/permissions, mail/collab) incl. waves, cutover, rollback, hypercare. Execute local-to-cloud moves and quiet tenant alignment (incl. Microsoft) with clear acceptance & risk logs. Provide decision-ready updates; hand over cleanly to run-ops with reusable playbooks. IT Operations Own ITSM (incident/request/change), catalogue/KB, KPI dashboard; turn signals into improvements. Run endpoint lifecycle (zero-touch, baselines, encryption/patch, inventory/returns). Ensure Day-1-ready JML, tidy collaboration spaces, light guardrails vs. shadow IT. SysAdmin / Sys-Ops Operate IDP/SSO (roles, access reviews, least-privilege, automated provisioning). Maintain baselines, monitoring/alerts, stable integrations (HR ↔ IDP/ITSM/DMS). Embed security hygiene (EDR, patch/backup rhythms, restore tests) and GDPR/NIS2 evidence. Leadership & Enablement (hands-on, measured) Set near-term priorities; coach IT-Ops/Sys-Ops; steer partners to outcomes. Raise the bar on documentation, runbooks, service quality, incident/post-mortems. Partner with the Director of IT on data-driven sequencing (stabilise → standardise → scale). Preferred Background Must-have Senior experience spanning migrations (local-to-cloud & tenant alignment), IT Ops, and Sys-Ops in hybrid/multi-site environments. Proven lift on SLA/MTTR/CSAT, endpoint compliance, and clean cutovers; strong change/risk control and documentation habits. Practical leadership of small internal teams and external partners (prioritisation, coaching, clear acceptance criteria). Solid grasp of permission models, retention/classification, access reviews, backup/restore evidence, and privacy obligations. Ability to distil complexity into decision-ready options and to drive adoption with non-IT stakeholders. German fluent; English professional. Nice-to-have Document management governance (permissions, retention, audit trails) and self-service enablement. Light automation/scripting for provisioning/reporting; capacity/cost visibility and simple ROI framing. Participation in restore/DR exercises; familiarity with branch/field operations and vendor consolidation.
