IT Operations Manager

Hybrid Munich, Germany - 2 days per week in office

Competitive Salary with Pension Scheme & Private Healthcare

Are you the kind of IT Operations Manager who enjoys owning the full “office IT experience” — from networks and endpoints to identity, automation, and vendors — and making it all feel seamless?

Want a role where you can drive structure and scale across a multi-site environment, while still staying close to the tech and having real influence on how things are done?

About the role

This is a hands-on IT Operations Manager position with real ownership: you’ll run and improve core IT operations for a distributed office footprint, while leading a small team (one IT employee and one intern) and managing key vendors and budgets. The environment is highly operational but with plenty of space to standardise, automate, and raise the bar on reliability and user experience.

Key focus areas include:

Owning IT infrastructure and day-to-day operations for the Munich office (including Ubiquiti networks)
Endpoint provisioning and lifecycle management across macOS and Windows
User/account administration across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
Supporting meeting rooms and office setups (docking stations, HDMI, peripherals, connectivity)
Maintaining and improving automation workflows (Python scripting and n8n) for system sync and operational efficiency
Partnering with office stakeholders across locations and supporting office improvements via occasional European travel (4–6 trips per year)
Leading IT setup for new office openings planned for 2026
Managing vendor relationships, contracts, and an annual hardware budget of ~€600,000
Coaching and coordinating a small team of 2, setting priorities, and keeping execution moving

Tech stack / tools

Ubiquiti (network)
macOS + Windows endpoints
Google Workspace, Microsoft 365
Automation: Python, n8n (plus Bash/PowerShell considered)
Apple MDM experience
Identity/SSO familiarity (SAML, OAuth) is a plus

About you

They’re looking for someone who can combine structure, ownership, and calm execution with a genuine hands-on mindset.

What they’ll value:

Completed apprenticeship as Fachinformatiker für Systemintegration (or equivalent)
3+ years of practical experience in a similar IT operations environment
Strong networking fundamentals (LAN/WLAN, VPN, firewall basics, troubleshooting)
Scripting/automation skills (ideally Python; Bash/PowerShell also relevant)
Solid macOS administration experience (MDM, user management, troubleshooting) and confidence with Windows
Admin experience with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
German at B2 level (minimum) and English at C1 level (written and spoken)
Munich-based or willing to relocate, plus a valid driver’s license for office visits
Organised, proactive, and comfortable working independently across multiple stakeholders and locations

For you

A visible, high-impact role supporting 500+ employees across multiple offices, with Munich as a major hub
A rare mix of strategic improvement work and practical delivery — you’ll shape standards, not just follow them
Meaningful ownership of vendor management and a sizeable hardware budget (~€600k annually)
A modern environment with a high degree of automation (Python + n8n) and scope to push that further
Leadership experience with direct reports, plus the chance to build repeatable processes for a growing organisation
