Newsfactory is a media agency offering services such as media advisory, content marketing, theme magazines, advertising sales services, and ad and magazine production.My job as the IT manager at Newsfactory was a new challenge for me where I had to build up their IT environment from scratch. We went from 1 small office with 10 employees to 3 different offices connected through VPN with a centralised server hall at the main office. During this growth I demonstrated the overall perspective and understanding needed to manage the IT issues in a long-term, economical and timely manner. My main goal was to maintain the highest possibly degree of confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of the system and services independent of location. This through the procurement of the best-suited products, services, and contracts. I established and maintained the IT Strategy and security of the company and maintained the incident response and recovery protocols. I also coordinated the integration between the internal systems and services with the external system providers along with the associated change management.Examples of my duties:• System Management• Procurement of hardware, software and external technical services• Contact and project responsibility for external system vendors and the implementation and integration of these with Newsfactory's internal systems• Installation, operation, maintenance and administration of computers and servers• Installation, operation and administration of the network• User Administration• User Support• Application Support• Administration of the telephone switch (Panasonic) and alarms, etc.• Outsourcing of systems and services

Konstfack was opened in 1844 and is Sweden's largest artistic university and has about 1000 students and 200 employees. As can be expected at a university the IT environment was quite complex and the infrastructure needed to be suited for a variety of needs. I worked primarily with the installation, operation, maintenance and administration of computers and servers. I demonstrated the ability to have meaningful dialogues with the faculty and to quickly understand the requirements and their wishes for their classroom environment. I demonstrated the ability to facilitate this through the proper configuration of installation profiles and applications relevant to the area of education and research while adhering the strict IT policies of the university. Here, not only I but also the entire IT department demonstrated great teamwork where everyone worked together helping the students and faculty with a wide range of questions and IT support needs.Examples of my duties: •Installation, operation, maintenance and administration of computers and servers•Operation and administration of the network•User Administration•User Support •Application Support
