Job Overview
We are seeking an IT Specialist to join our IT Operations team at Harbinger Motors. As a rapidly growing organization, we operate in a fast-paced environment where adaptability and flexibility are essential. This role is ideal for someone who can shift gears quickly, step into different responsibilities as needed, and remain effective under changing priorities.
The ideal candidate demonstrates tenacity in troubleshooting and not stopping at surface-level fixes, but digging in to identify and resolve root causes. A strong customer service mindset is critical: you approach every interaction with professionalism, empathy, and a solutions-oriented attitude. You bring a “can-do” mentality, personal grit, and a willingness to go the extra mile to ensure systems run smoothly and users feel supported.
If you take ownership, see challenges through to resolution, and understand that sometimes the best debugging companion is a solid cup of coffee, you’ll fit right in. *Core working hours for this role is 11am-8pm*
