Looking for a top IT role in Auckland?

Thankfully my current boss agrees with you Ixion.
Yes but I need a bit of paper that shows that I'm not a doofus. Shows I know how to teach myself and have the skills necessary, not just about the knowledge.
I wasn't going to waste 3 years on a uni degree for the same thing.

The range was 80 - 120k - and I was referring to a 'top role' doing senior support. Its not a "top" job as in CIO etc - I am aware that they get paid more.

Sorry for confusion.

bump - Im shocked - with all the IT experts who offer advise on here - I thought I would have received more PM.s I guess you are all on more than the 100k then. :shrug:

Either way - advert goes out tomorrow - if any KB'ers are interested - drop me a PM.

You will be the only person on site and will need a good range of skills:

I cannot list them at the moment - but most people in senior technical support roles will have the majority of them. I am working on a role spec.

The company is really good to work for and will treat you well. Its in a awesome central location also - you will get secure under cover parking for the bike as part of the package.

Now here is a kicker - I dont want a IT nerd - This person has to be management friendly - be able to represent IT as a 'go to' business line.

Yeah - I know its hard to get someone who is good both technically and Personally.

Salary of 80k - 120k is broad - but gives an indication of the quality of person I am looking for here.

If you are interested - please drop me a PM.

Any chance of moving the position to Wellington, Kapiti Coast even would be better.

I dunno, i've met a few that have been bloody good (can talk to management). Having said that though, it usually depends on the "management" you're dealing with. If you're management are not techie, but realise that the guy/gal in front of them is more than capable of handling the task and can demonstrate real business value, they'll let you loose. But it's exceptionally rare. The rest are just job protecting

You must have good clients Tank... am sure some one must be tempted by that. I know I would.
