The IT Operations team is currently scaling our responsibilities and operations. While Storytel’s core IT landscape is primarily built around Google Workspace and macOS, we are in an exciting phase where we are taking over the IT responsibility for companies within the group that mainly operate on Microsoft 365.

Simultaneously, you will remain hands-on, supporting the team in daily operations and taking ownership of Workplace IT. Growth & Opportunities For an ambitious candidate who successfully takes ownership and elevates our MDM and M365 environments, there are great opportunities to gradually shape the role and dive deeper into specialized infrastructure engineering and governance as our landscape evolves.

Ranging from complex technical troubleshooting to routine, autopilot tasks REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS * Technical Experience: At least 3–5 years of experience working within IT operations, modern workplace management, or system administration. * MDM & M365 Expertise: Proven experience configuring and administering Microsoft Intune (device configuration, compliance policies, deployment) and managing Microsoft 365 environments. Experience with multi-tenant setups is a major plus. * Hands-on IT Support: Solid experience handling day-to-day workplace IT, end-user support, and hardware lifecycle management. * Advanced Workstation & OS Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of both Windows and macOS ecosystems, naturally becoming the go-to person in the team for anything related to computer management and troubleshooting. * Bonus Platform Knowledge: Experience with Okta, Google Workspace and Jamf is a strong advantage. * Language: Professional fluency in English, both written and spoken. Who You Are To thrive in this position, we are looking for a specific mindset and personality.

You are ready to work broadly and jump in wherever the team needs you most. * Process-Minded: You have a natural ability to see the bigger picture and design structured, scalable processes rather than relying on ad-hoc fixes. Location & Workplace We operate on trust, meaning you have the freedom to manage your own calendar, shape your week, and adjust your daily working hours to fit your life. Since a vital part of your role involves managing our physical office ecosystem and hands-on device troubleshooting, this role naturally relies on your physical presence at our Stockholm HQ on a daily basis. However, you will have autonomy over your daily calendar and how you pace your hours. What We Offer A role with high autonomy, immense learning potential, and the chance to leave your mark on a global IT infrastructure from day one. You will join a skilled team that values initiative, continuous learning, and having fun along the way.
