• Obtain and provision hardware and software requests as assigned. This position requires on-call responsibilities and occasional after-hours work.
• Conduct IT Operations onboarding training for organization new hires, as well as processing IT-focused employee termination responsibilities
• Contribute to existing and future IT audit work on access control history and quarterly software vendor audits.

• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must be based in Bogota, Colombia, and able to work both remotely and in-office when required.
• Experience between 2 -6 years
• Has a team-oriented mindset, sharing the workload but also being willing to step up when resources are minimized. Our ideal candidate is an excellent communicator who shows patience and a willingness to learn.
• Demonstrated experience working with Claude or equivalent large language model tools is required; candidates must be comfortable leveraging AI to enhance productivity, research, and communication.
• Systems and skills knowledge should include a high aptitude in cloud-based productivity suite administration, macOS device management and configuration using enterprise tools, IT service management platforms with experience in ticket automation and workflow design, enterprise Windows device management using third-party solutions, productivity software suite administration, and management of enterprise endpoint security platforms.

Preferred Knowledge and Skills:

• Possess the ability to be a self-starter:  
  • Identify a problem.
  • Assess the situation and any variables
  • Work quickly and accurately to resolve the problem
  • Identify areas where processes can be improved to reduce the reoccurrence of existing problems
  • Take the initiative and work autonomously to implement the improvement.
• Ability to react to a rapidly changing organization with a true start-up mentality.
• Experience and comfort working on an agile team – an ideal candidate should be familiar with agile concepts, including Jira ticketing classification, pointing, and meeting workflows.
• Possess a high level of organization with the ability to document workflows accurately and in a manner that can be replicated. Change management is critical to the success of our IT Operations team for both auditing purposes and process improvement. Our ideal candidate would have experience and comfort in bringing these skills to Sezzle.
• Experience working with PCI-DSS, SOC 2 Type 2,  and CIS controls; specifically in implementation, documentation, administration, and continued adherence to these controls.

About You: 

• You have relentlessly high standards - many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results. You make sure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.
• You’re not bound by convention - your success—and much of the fun—lies in developing new ways to do things
• You need action - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.
• You earn trust - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
