You know what RMM and PSA tools are, you’ve worked with SLAs, and you’re comfortable holding a team accountable to them. Required Skills MSP or IT operations background (5+ years preferred) SLA, OLA, and KPI experience People management and HR administration Process improvement and workflow design GDPR, Health & Safety, and compliance awareness Strong communicator comfortable with engineers, vendors, and clients alike Familiarity with RMM or PSA platforms and MS Office Preferred Skills ITIL Foundation certification PMP (Project Management Professional) Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Degree in business administration, management, or related field Familiarity with EOS is a plus, but what matters most is an openness to structured ways of working and a genuine belief that how a business runs is just as important as what it delivers.
