The Hard Truth: Not For Everyone
High-Stakes Visibility: When a system fails you are the most watched person in the building. You must be able to work with a cool head while everyone is looking to you for an immediate fix.
The Action Factor: You wont be sitting at a desk all day. You will be on the move on the floor and under desks. It is a physically active role that requires you to be where the problems are.
Firefighting is the Job: Some days are pure chaos. Technology breaks at the most inconvenient times and you have to prioritize business survival over your own to-do list.
If youre reliable proactive and genuinely enjoy keeping operations running smoothly behind the scenes. We would love to hear from you.
MyRunway is committed to transformation and redressing of past inequalities. Our employment equity goals will be taken into account in our selection process.
