What You'll Do:

As BooksTime has grown, so have our IT needs. Therefore, we're looking to expand our IT department, which currently includes 3 full-time staff.



The role includes 3 main functions:



(A) Support & Routine Operations, i.e. responding to helpdesk support tickets from other employees, managing staff access and accounts in company systems when team members are onboarded or offboarded, and more. Our staff use over 20 different apps and systems and require a wide range of support.



(B) Technical Project Management, i.e. working on initiatives to improve our IT systems. This includes automation projects, internal software development, efforts to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and finding ways to increase the user-friendliness of our internal systems.



(C) Security Assurance, i.e. enhancing security measures to protect our company, staff and clients, monitoring for threats and leading responses to them, staying abreast of the latest in cybersecurity technology, improving policies & procedures, providing training to our staff, and more.



The exact scope of the role will be shaped around the strengths of the person we hire. You might focus on one of the 3 functions above more than the others, depending on where you have the most experience.

Supervisory Role:

This role is suitable for an early-career candidate. However, more experienced candidates would be eligible for a more advanced version of this role, which would involve supervising other IT staff and leading larger, more complex initiatives.



Whether you're in the supervisory role or not, we really value your ideas and input on everything that we do.
