Requirements:

  • Proven experience in Global IT operations, systems administration, or a similar role.
  • Strong knowledge of device and endpoint management technologies, including MDM solutions.
  • Experience with global hardware procurement and logistics.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP).
