This isn't about clearing a ticket queue. You'll be architecting solutions whilst mentoring other line engineers through diagnostic methodology they haven't encountered before. Reporting to the Service Desk Manager, you'll define how we approach the technical challenges that determine whether clients renew or leave. MSP 3.0 reality check: We're implementing NinjaOne RMM to operate as a proactive, automation-first MSP rather than reactive break-fix. Your role includes configuring NinjaOne for maximum effectiveness building automated remediation workflows, establishing intelligent alerting thresholds that reduce noise whilst catching real issues, and creating monitoring policies that prevent incidents instead of just logging them.

They're how we can continue to continue to evolve our business with ever increasing intelligence and automation, using cutting edge MSP tools.

When you propose automated remediation workflows or infrastructure changes, the conversation is about efficacy, not whether it fits a pre-approved vendor list. 18-staff MSP, financially stable, zero private equity ownership. We make technical investments based on operational merit, not quarterly EBITDA targets. Genuine progression: You're joining as we scale from 18 to 40 staff over 24 months.
