The role sits within a globally distributed technology organization and requires someone who is comfortable working independently while partnering closely with colleagues across multiple regions. Operating within a business where technology underpins daily operations, the successful candidate will play an essential role in maintaining stability, driving user satisfaction, and supporting a demanding professional user base. This position offers significant exposure to enterprise infrastructure, office technology, network environments, and business-critical support operations.

  • Build, deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot workstations, laptops, peripherals, and multi-monitor setups.
  • Administer user accounts and access permissions through Active Directory, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365 platforms.
  • Support mobile devices and endpoint management tools while maintaining adherence to security and compliance standards.
  • Manage and maintain physical network infrastructure including IDF/MDF closets, patching, cabling, labeling, and rack organization.
  • Perform first-line network troubleshooting covering connectivity, switching, wireless issues, and general infrastructure incidents.
  • Coordinate with global technology teams, external vendors, telecommunications providers, and building management when required.
  • Support onboarding activities, office technology projects, equipment refresh cycles, and business continuity initiatives.


Requirements

  • Minimum 3 years of experience in desktop support, infrastructure support, system administration, or a related IT function.
  • Strong experience supporting Windows 10/11 environments and familiarity with macOS platforms.
  • Hands-on administration experience with Active Directory, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365.
  • Exposure to endpoint management technologies such as Intune, SCCM, Jamf, or equivalent tools.
  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, and structured cabling.
  • Experience working within server rooms, IDF/MDF environments, or maintaining physical infrastructure components.
  • Excellent communication skills in English and the ability to provide professional user support under pressure.
  • Preferred experience within financial services, trading environments, hedge funds, investment firms, or other highly available operational settings.
  • Additional exposure to Bloomberg, market data platforms, Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Fortinet, Zoom Rooms, or Teams Rooms would be advantageous.
  • Relevant industry certifications such as CCNA, Microsoft, CompTIA, or ITIL are beneficial but not mandatory.
If you are an experienced infrastructure or IT support professional seeking a highly visible role with broad technical exposure and meaningful responsibility, we would be delighted to hear from you. This opportunity offers the chance to work within a sophisticated technology environment, support critical business operations, and contribute directly to the success of a globally recognized investment platform.
