This is a strong next step for a Cloud Engineer or Systems Administrator who is passionate about the future of AI and ready to own a technology function rather than contribute to one.
Playing a critical role for thismid sized well-established, multi-site professional services group you'll oscillate from driving and building their AI future, to providing 1-3 level technical support, managing partners and leading a small team.
The environment is hands-on. You'll be deep in the stack daily — administering Microsoft 365, managing identity and access, overseeing device management, and working through a defined programme of infrastructure and security improvements.
The organisation is values-led with a professional culture, and the role reports directly to the Group Director.
This is a long-standing client of ours with a genuine track record of investing in their people — reflected in former employees who stay connected to the business long after they've moved on.
WHAT MAKES THIS A STEP UP
- You own it. No senior tech lead above you. You're the internal expert the business turns to — making calls, setting direction, and being accountable for outcomes.
- You will be inside their AI journey.
- Full stack breadth. Identity, cloud, device management, networking, security, ITSM — you'll work across all of it rather than specialising in one lane.
- Clear growth path. As the function matures, there's a defined pathway to building and leading a small internal team.
THE TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT
- Identity & cloud: Microsoft Entra ID, Azure, Intune
- Productivity: Microsoft 365, Copilot, Slack, Zoom
- ITSM: Atlassian JSM, Confluence
- Security: ESET MDR, Datadog SIEM
- Networking: Cisco Meraki, Private Fibre
- Device management: Apple ecosystem, Mosyle to Jamf (migration in progress)
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Administering Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Azure across a multi-site environment
- Building and maintaining access management, provisioning workflows, and group structures
- Managing the Atlassian JSM environment — service desk, asset tracking, documentation
- Leading the MDM migration from Mosyle to Jamf
- Monitoring and maintaining security posture via Datadog SIEM and ESET MDR
- Implementing ITIL service management processes from the ground up
- Day-to-day BAU support and incident resolution across all sites
- Managing the MSP relationship and coordinating vendors
- Supporting mobile provider and video conferencing infrastructure upgrades
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- A genuine interest for AI and Automation and how it can shape organisations
- Solid Microsoft 365 administration — Entra ID, Intune, Exchange, SharePoint
- Azure cloud infrastructure experience
- Apple MDM — Jamf or equivalent
- Security fundamentals — endpoint protection, SIEM, MDR
- Networking basics — Cisco Meraki or similar
- Atlassian JSM and Confluence
- ITIL or equivalent service management background (or strong working knowledge)
- Experience working alongside or managing an MSP — desirable but not essential
- Comfortable with approximately one week per month travel to regional Victoria
