About the job
You lead a well-coordinated team of System Engineers, stay technically involved and look after your own customers - at a Microsoft partner that gives you genuine scope for action.
IT Services Team Leader
Who needs your support?
Aproda is one of the leading Microsoft partners for Swiss SMEs - over 160 people, part of the Bechtle Group, repeatedly awarded by Microsoft. Our IT Services division in St. Gallen (around 25 people) supports customers from the cloud through the modern workplace to IT security - and is growing. For us, output counts, not presence control: open-door, hands-on, no ego. We celebrate successes, stick together and give you room for your own ideas.
How you create added value
- You lead 8 System Engineers (7 in St. Gallen, 1 in Lyss), develop them further and have their backs - leadership accounts for around 30-40% of your time.
- You stay technically involved: active participation in projects, platform maintenance, customer presentations and quotations.
- You manage selected key accounts holistically and build long-term customer relationships. In doing so, you actively shape service quality and the further development of the customer environment.
- You actively drive the Azure Platform Services, Azure Virtual Desktop and IT Security areas forward.
What makes you the ideal candidate
- Solid experience in Azure/Cloud, Azure Virtual Desktop and/or IT Security.
- Initial leadership experience - you do not yet have to have led an 8-person team, but you are keen to lead people (not just technically).
- You enjoy working close to the customer, think entrepreneurially and are comfortable with revenue and time tracking logic (ideally: background at an IT service provider).
- HF/FH - or a strong professional path with methodological competence and genuine willingness to learn.
- You reflect on yourself, take initiative and remain fair and solution-oriented even in hectic moments.
