Your new company
This organisation operates as a small, close‑knit Australian team under the umbrella of a larger global group.

You’ll be the primary contact for all IT support needs, combining hands-on technical work with coordination, training, documentation, asset and licence management, and local infrastructure ownership.

- Delivering training and support on Microsoft 365 tools (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams).
- Setting up and managing SharePoint and Canva folder structures.
- Conducting regular data housekeeping and ensuring secure file management practices.
- Administering Microsoft 365 groups, Teams, call groups, and shared mailboxes.

- Managing Mac devices via Jamf and Windows devices via Azure Active Directory.
- Maintaining the physical asset register for all IT equipment.
- Procuring hardware/software and managing vendor relationships.
- Overseeing software licencing, renewals, and compliance.
- Assisting with tender documentation relating to security, compliance, CSR, and insurance.

- Hybrid working environment – 2 days per week working from home
- A varied role stretching across support, systems management, training, infrastructure, and continuous improvement.
