IT Operations Specialist

The role of a IT Operations Specialist at saas. group

We’re looking for one exceptional IT person to own internal IT operations across our entire portfolio. No team to delegate to, no manager hovering over your queue. Just you, your judgment, and 380 colleagues spread across the globe who need things to work.

The reality: most of your day will be resolving IT support tickets. You’ll be the go-to for device issues, access problems, onboarding, offboarding, and everything in between. What separates this role from a standard helpdesk job is the expectation that you’ll continuously look for ways to make yourself more efficient, whether that’s scripting a repetitive process away, setting up an automation in n8n, or deploying an AI-assisted response for common ticket types.

If you’re someone who gets satisfaction from a clean queue, takes pride in fast and clear resolutions, and gets personally annoyed by manual work that could obviously be automated, this role was written for you.

Your immediate impact in the first 3-6 months will be:

• Take full ownership of IT support tickets and establish a reliable, fast resolution rhythm across the organisation.
• Identify the highest-volume repetitive requests and automate at least 3 of them using AI or scripting.
• Build or improve onboarding and offboarding workflows so new hires are set up smoothly without manual back-and-forth.
• Become the trusted IT contact across 23 brands, the person people know will actually fix things.

Your responsibilities

• Resolve IT support requests from distributed team members quickly, clearly, and empathetically.
• Administer our core tools at an admin level: Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Asana, Trelica, and others.
• Own the full employee lifecycle from an IT perspective, including provisioning, access management, and offboarding.
• Proactively identify processes that can be automated and implement those solutions yourself or in collaboration with the platform team.
• Manage vendor relationships and software renewals as you get settled in.
• Document what you build so the organisation isn’t dependent on tribal knowledge.
• Standardize and automate new joiner device provisioning and Mobile Device Management (MDM) enrollment to ensure immediate security compliance and accurate asset tracking, thereby eliminating the manual enrollment backlog.

What You bring to the table

• 4+ years of hands-on IT support or IT operations experience, ideally in a startup, scale-up, or remote-first environment.
• Real admin-level experience with SaaS tools such as Google Workspace, Okta, Slack, or similar. Not just end-user familiarity.
• A genuine bias toward automation: when you see a repetitive process, your first instinct is to eliminate it.
• Basic scripting ability in any language, and enough familiarity with APIs and webhooks to connect tools together.
• Experience with AI tools in your actual workflow, not just awareness but practical application.
• Clear, friendly, async-first communication. You’ll be supporting non-technical people remotely, and how you communicate is as important as how fast you resolve things.
• Comfort operating solo with high autonomy. There’s no playbook handed to you here. You’ll be expected to build it.

What’s in it for You

• Ultimate flexibility: We’re 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like.
• Freedom and autonomy: We’re a high-trust team, and you’ll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it.
• Minimum bureaucracy: We don’t like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable.
• Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around.
• Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial SaaS professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning  and expertise with each other internally. 
• Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed.
