  • Lead or co-manage application-related projects such as major version upgrades, global rollouts, platform migrations, and integration initiatives.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams including infrastructure, security, business stakeholders, and vendor resources.

What makes you a good fit

  • Previous involvement in application upgrade projects or global rollouts is highly desirable.
  • Solid understanding of enterprise application architectures (e.g., multi-tier, etc..).
  • Familiarity with infrastructure standards including cloud platforms, virtualization, networking, and hosting concepts.
  • Experience with integration technologies and middleware (APIs, ESB, data pipelines).
  • Working knowledge of ITSM tools and processes (incident, change, problem management).
  • Proficiency with standard productivity and collaboration tools (MS Office 365, SharePoint, Confluence, Jira, or equivalent).
  • Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and data flow maps.
  • Understanding of enterprise printing architectures and print management platforms.
  • Exposure to task automation tools, scripts.
  • Scripting skills in one or more languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automation and operational tasks.
