About the RoleAs a System Administrator you'll solve complex problems and identify potential future issues across a broad spectrum of platforms and services. You'll be at the forefront of new technology and modernization, working with some of the biggest clients in the world.

No two projects are alike here. You'll manage systems data for clients, provide day-to-day solutions, and ensure security compliance. You'll also oversee a queue of assignments and work directly with technicians, prioritizing tickets to deliver the best outcomes for our clients.

Key Responsibilities• Lead and manage z/OS system programming initiatives.

- Design resilient and scalable mainframe infrastructure.
- Handle upgrades, migrations, and SMP/E maintenance.
- Manage core components: JES, storage, and networking.
- Support CICS, DB2, IMS, and MQ subsystems.
- Drive automation, performance, and capacity optimization.
- Resolve critical incidents and perform root cause analysis.
- Ensure security, compliance, and SLA adherence.
- Support disaster recovery and monitoring integration.
- Collaborate with teams, vendors, and stakeholders.
- Mentor team members and drive modernization efforts.

You'll work with clients across industries — from banking to retail — giving you the flexibility to broaden your expertise or specialize in a specific sector. You'll also have the opportunity to recommend modernization strategies, identify new business opportunities, and build relationships across teams and stakeholders. The work is challenging, but you'll collaborate with a talented,



diverse team and develop management and organizational skills that will serve your career long-term.
