This position is ideal for someone looking for a hands‑on role with a solid technical foundation in Microsoft 365 administration and a desire to take ownership of IT operations, processes and long‑term planning. We offer a dynamic and supportive environment where you will have the opportunity to grow into an IT leadership role, supported by trust and guidance from company management.
