Washmen is currently seeking a hands-on IT Manager to lead their technology operations in Dubai. This onsite role is perfect for a seasoned professional ready to scale IT infrastructure and spearhead digital transformation within a fast-paced environment.
Role Overview
As the IT Manager, you are the backbone of the technical department. You won’t just be monitoring servers; you will be building the entire IT department from the ground up, aligning technical strategy with the company’s growth. This position demands someone comfortable in an onsite setting, ensuring every piece of the network, from POS systems to security cameras, runs like clockwork.
Your daily routine involves everything from managing cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity policies to mentoring your support team. You will be the point person for vendor management and budgeting, ensuring the company has the right tools to stay productive.
Key Eligibility & Requirements
Washmen needs someone who has “been there and done that” in the UAE market. If you are looking for career progression, this is a role that rewards initiative and clear communication.
- Experience: You need at least 5 years of professional experience in IT management.
- Local Context: Candidates must have previous work experience in the UAE.
- Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a relevant technical field is mandatory.
- Core Skills: Proven hands-on experience with server and network administration, along with a deep understanding of cybersecurity and data compliance.
- Tech Stack: Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) is highly preferred.
- Bonus Points: If you have managed POS systems, logistics-related IT operations, or have certifications like CCNA, MCSE, or ITIL, your profile will stand out.
Why This Role?
Unlike many desk-bound roles, this position offers high visibility. You will report directly to senior management and have the authority to implement best practices that directly impact business efficiency. You aren’t just maintaining the status quo; you are expected to design the “Plan B” for disaster recovery and deploy new tech solutions that move the needle.
