About the role
The IT Administrator looks after Terrapinn's software, identity and AI tools. Your main job is licence management: knowing what we own, who has it, what it costs and where we can save. You will also run the starter and leaver process across all our platforms. This is a hands-on role. You will hold Global Admin for our Microsoft tenant and be the person the business relies on to set up, secure and support its systems every day.
Key responsibilities
- Licence management (core): Own all software licences, agreements and renewals. Track usage, remove or resize licences to cut spend, manage our reseller relationships (e.g. Microsoft 365, Google Workplace, Zoom) and report on compliance, usage and cost.
- Microsoft 365 & Entra ID: Global Admin. Create and deactivate accounts for starters and leavers, assign licences, run Exchange admin and security admin including MFA and conditional access.
- AI tools administration: Admin for our AI platforms (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT). Manage seats, workspaces, permissions and usage. Setup connectors and mcps.
- SaaS administration: Org admin for Google Workspace, Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, Zoom and LTT/Callagur. Set up and remove users, map roles and manage SSO and domain setup.
- Starters and leavers: Own the process end to end. Starters are ready on day one, leavers are fully deactivated on their last day, with a clear audit trail.
- Reporting & automation: Build Power BI reports and automations (e.g. Power Automate) to make licence tracking, starter/leaver and admin work faster.
- IT support: First and second line support for devices, connectivity and office kit. Endpoint management (MDM, patching, antivirus). Support at live events. Keep asset records accurate.
