Background
Advancing the mission of education takes more than smart spending. Because in education, procurement isn’t just about transactions—it’s about connecting people with the resources they need to power learning. It isn’t about adding more suppliers to your network—it’s about finding the right suppliers who can deliver what your education community needs—today and tomorrow. It isn’t even about automating source-to-pay—it’s about building insight at every point in the process so that you can design innovative new ways to support institutional goals.
At ESM we believe that intelligent procurement is based on a vision for how to deliver lasting value—one shared by you, your suppliers, and your education community. We’re building dynamic new technologies powered by a community of insight to help you manage every relationship more effectively and build a sustainable ecosystem to help your institution thrive.
Because keeping education vibrant and viable isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.
Role
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing organization at the start of a new phase of technology transformation.
Our operational and SaaS enterprise application systems are all hosted in Azure. The systems were recently ported from a traditional data center. We constantly need to maintain, enhance, and modernize these systems to use[HA1] more native Azure services and more modern application development techniques.
To support this work we are seeking an Azure Sysadmin to handle the day to day operations of our corporate network including domain, storage, M365, and compute management across our infrastructure in the cloud. This role will also support our Saas Application engineers by maintaining the azure services that our systems are built upon (SQL, NoSQL databases, Azure functions, Message Queues, Blob services, etc). Additional responsibilities will include end user support for access to networked resources and personal computing device support (laptop support and refresh).
In this role you will work as our IT professional and aid the Development and QA activities of the Engineering team. Understanding the product development process and working with the Product team is helpful as well.
The role is entirely remote working with hours spanning US and UK timezones.
Individual
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has come from an IT support background and has gotten certified with one or more Azure Network focused certifications and wants to take this forward with a growing organization.
Given the remote working model, we need someone who is highly motivated, a self-starter, well organized and comfortable interacting with a diverse range of colleagues, all of whom will be working remotely around the world.
Most importantly, we are seeking a keen problem solver with a good analytical mind and good communication skills.
