- Proficiency supporting a mixed environment of Linux and macOS endpoints.
- Experience with, or willingness to work within, export control and defense compliance frameworks is a strong advantage (ISO 27001, ISO 9001).
- Relevant certifications (e.g. from CompTIA, ITIL, ISC2) are a plus.
- Comfortable working in a fast paced, changing environment, able to adapt quickly, reprioritise.
- Willingness to travel, predominantly within Germany.
- Customer facing experience.
