Head of the IT department in bodo

Hello! I'm Sasha - director of IT, development and innovation bodo.

I am currently looking for an IT manager.

I know from my own experience that it is difficult to understand from a standard description on a job site whether your company or No. Therefore, in this vacancy, I tried to honestly and in detail tell about the position of the head of IT, our team and the company.

Why am I looking for a specialist personally, and not HR? We do not have an HR department at bodo. As leaders, we build our teams and cultivate our corporate culture. All stages of selection are carried out by me. So let's get to know each other!

I am 33 years old and I have been in the bodo team for 13 of them. During this time, under my leadership, the company has gone the way:

• from one physical server to a hybrid infrastructure with more than 50 servers;
• from outsourcing in programming and system administration to full-fledged functions within the company;
• from firefighting to a systems approach to IT.

What we have:

1. 2 system administrators under reporting, closing L1/L2.
2. External contractors with competences in complex services (for example, telephony). 
3. Budget for development and operational needs.
4. 1C and web programmers on staff.
5. IT director working in the company for 10+ years.
>
6. Mail on Google Workspace.
7. Critical services are in the cloud.
8. We work according to best practice. For example: 1. Backups are made constantly, kept in several different places, if necessary - encrypted and checked from time to time. 2. Infrastructure elements duplicate critical functions (Internet, equipment...).
9. Step-by-step adaptation to the position. A training plan for professional tasks, instructions, constant meetings with me and colleagues who are ready to help and advise. I am always available so you can come up and ask questions.
10. We have no bureaucracy, decisions are made quickly. Everyone has the right to vote - any idea you have will be heard, and if it is relevant, we will implement it.
11. Flexible schedule for the start of the working day - we don't care what time you come. You yourself choose when it is more convenient to come to the office: at 8, 9, 10 or 11 o'clock. Next, you work a 9-hour day (including 1 hour of lunch).
12. Office in the center (86H Malevicha St. - 5 minutes' walk from Lybidska station).
>
13. Financial stability - official employment from the first day, salary twice a month without delay, 24 days of paid vacation.
14. Salary review every year.
15. Payment of 50% of expenses for external professional training.
16. 30% discount on self-visit experiences and as a gift.
17. Day off on your birthday if it falls on your work day.
18. And of course, common sense and a sense of humor. No formality - everyone here is "you".

Now about our requirements for the specialist I am looking for:

1. I was looking , selected and hired subordinates.
2. Managed the support of 100+ users through the helpdesk.
3. Knows how to configureand both Windows and Linux servers.
4. Knows the OSI network model and has built complex networks with VLAN distribution.
5. Has experience in building local networks based on Mikrotik equipment.
6. He configured monitoring systems not only according to standard templates, but also has practical experience in creating dashboards for specific tasks.
7. He has a desire to "get to the bottom" of the causes of any problems, and not just deal with their consequences .
8. Understands the importance of creating backups, the necessity of duplicating them, conducting periodic checks by "deploying" backups and uses it in practice in his work.
9. Able to schedule tasks with a time estimate for a month ahead both for himself and for his subordinates.
10. Works for a result, not "from nine to six to sit out."
11. Demanding to himself and others.
