I'm 4 months into an IT director slot with a highly successful contract research organization in the Pharma sector. I've got 200 users, significant development work (sharepoint/SQL/financial reporting) and a fairly busy helpdesk to run.

tl;dr: I'm over-tasked and under-resourced.

I do NOT have a req or approval to hire yet, be warned.

My theory is that if I locate the perfect candidate I can stuff the resume down management's throat and get the req based on the right person. In my few months here I've gained a vastly good reputation and carry enough weight to get what I need if I stomp around enough.

Who do I want? Good question. My main goal is to get out of the helpdesk all together, maybe serve as tier 2. You'll have excellent problem solving capabilities, an understanding of basic M$ Os's/apps, and a bias for action. You'll have no problem operating outside 9-5 when there are incidents to manage, but the extra hours will be minimal. The bonus is that you'll have a drat fine mentor to take your career to the next level.

Buzzwords- If you nod on each or most of these please send me your CV: Sharepoint, SQL, Clinplus, Antiquated OS's (NT loving 4), salesforce.com, backupexec, Citrix, MPLS networks, Cisco pix/ISA, Five 9 predictive dialer, ITIL implementation, Active directory

I don't care about degree or certs, but be resourceful, energetic, and positive.

Send CV's to searbitrary at gmail. Thanks folks, will be happy to answer additional questions on the job.
