IT经理

Purpose
We're looking for an IT Manager to be the on-the-ground technical backbone for our operations, working closely with our Sydney-based partner. This role sits at the intersection of day-to-day IT support, tooling administration, and workflow building, keeping our team connected, unblocked, and set up to move fast as we scale.
The ideal candidate is a proactive builder who doesn't wait to be told what to fix. You're comfortable owning the Microsoft 365 environment, building dashboards in Jira or , and being the first responder when something breaks, including on short notice, when it matters most.
It's a chance to build real ownership over a function from the ground up, with a clear path from a freelance engagement into a full-time seat on the team.
You could be a great fit if...

• You're an Australian citizen who wants to be the go-to IT person for a fast-scaling team

• You have 3-6 years of experience in IT support, systems admin, or ops, and you're hungry to own more than a ticket queue

• You live inside Microsoft 365 Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and can set it up in your sleep

• You've built dashboards or workflows in Jira or , and get a genuine kick out of a clean, well-organized board

• You spot a broken process and can't help fixing it, even when nobody asked

• You're comfortable being reachable for the occasional urgent fire, because you know that's part of the job

• You like the idea of starting as a freelancer and growing into a full-time role as the relationship proves itself

Requirements

• Australian citizenship

• 2-3 years of relevant IT support or systems administration experience

• Strong hands-on knowledge of the Microsoft 365 suite (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive), including user setup, permissions, and configuration

• Experience with Jira or , especially building dashboards and board structures

• Ability to design and maintain scalable workflows and board structures, not just execute instructions handed to you

• Proven ability to triage and resolve IT issues across a distributed or remote team

• Experience managing SaaS subscriptions, user access, and permissions across multiple platforms

• Strong documentation habits: you keep tools, access protocols, and processes written down and current, not just in your head

• Clear written and verbal communication; able to explain technical concepts to non-technical teammates

• Reliable availability for urgent, time-sensitive IT issues, not just scheduled hours

• Openness to transitioning from a freelance engagement into a full-time role over time

Bonus Points

• Based in Sydney

• Exposure to marketing technology stacks, analytics tools, CRM platforms, ad management tools

• Understanding of API-based integrations between SaaS platforms

• Familiarity with performance marketing tools or concepts, or e-commerce analytics platforms like Polar Analytics or Triple Whale

• Experience with e-commerce platforms such as Shopify or Amazon Seller Central

• Basic scripting or automation experience (Zapier, Make, Power Automate)

• Understanding of IT security basics, SSO, 2FA, access hygiene or a genuine passion for cybersecurity

• Experience in an agency, DTC brand, or multi-brand operating environment

• Experience supporting distributed or remote teams across time zones

• Open to eventually relocating to Abu Dhabi

You probably shouldn't apply if...

• You're only interested in a strictly freelance arrangement with no path to full-time

• You need every task fully scoped before you can start, rather than setting up systems from scratch

• You're unreachable outside a fixed 9-to-5 window when something urgent comes up

• You'd rather wait for direction than jump in and build the fix yourself

• Documentation feels like an afterthought to you rather than a habit you maintain by default

• You're not comfortable troubleshooting across a distributed team or explaining technical issues to non-technical stakeholders
