What are the responsibilities and job description for the IT Administrator position at Klue?
👋Hello hello hello!
We are looking for an IT Administrator to lead the charge on all things IT here at Klue! We’ve grown from 30 Kluebees at the start of the pandemic to now over 200 - - we’ve got a worldwide reach and we’re still growing!
Success in this role will come from identifying functions that won’t scale and building systems and workflows to solve for that. We’re a startup at heart (think scrappy) but we’re well-funded and have clear company-wide goals we’re working towards. Maximizing time-savings and efficiency are also critical to our success.
You’ll have lots of independence to run your day-to-day, but you’ll be part of the broader Finance & Operations team. As a key member of the Klue team, you’ll spend a few days in office each week so you can keep up to date on what’s happening around the office and share in some laughs too.
We look forward to meeting you!
