Job description

Green Scene Energy PLC is a women-led Ethiopian clean energy company.

Our clients include international NGOs, embassies and private industry.

We are hiring an IT and Systems Manager to own every system the company runs on: Google Workspace and company email, all computers and phones, the office network and Wi-Fi at our Addis office and TOLO facility, CCTV, printers and copiers, our website, our Jotform forms, and the AI tools the company is adopting. There is no IT team yet. You do the work, set the standards and build the function.

Duties and responsibilities

• Company email, accounts and shared drives for every employee, from first day to last
• All computers, phones, printers and copiers: set up, maintained, replaced on a cycle, with spares
• Internet and Wi-Fi at two sites with failover, so nobody discovers an outage before you do
• CCTV: cameras recording, footage kept and released under a written rule
• The website, the Jotform forms and the automations between our tools
• A helpdesk with same-day response and short staff training when tools change
• The IT budget, vendors and licences

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software or Electrical and Computer Engineering
• At least five years running IT for an organisation of 30 or more people, with at least two years as the person accountable
• Hands-on Google Workspace administration including migration from personal Gmail (tested)
• Hands-on office network, Wi-Fi, CCTV and printer management (tested)
• WordPress or similar website platform, and Jotform or a similar forms tool
• Has written a procedure people actually followed; explains technical decisions plainly in English and Amharic

Certificates in Google Workspace, networking, CCTV, cybersecurity or AI tools are an advantage, as is having automated a workflow between two tools without a developer.
