Today, PCS is a recognized global leader, powering the secondary market. At PCS, we buy and sell mobile devices and products worldwide through partners and programs by breathing new life into old devices effectively extending the device lifecycle up to 5X and beyond.

  • Managing IT vendors, MSPs, ISPs, software licensing, and system integrators
  • Owning IT operational budgets, asset management, and lifecycle planning
  • Leading execution of IT projects
  • Supporting audits, customer security reviews, and compliance activities

Who You Are:

  • 10+ years in IT infrastructure and operations
  • 5+ years in senior IT leadership roles (Senior Manager / Director)
  • Experience supporting:
    • Multi-site or global environments
    • Warehouse, logistics, or operationally critical environments

  • Solid experience with:

    • Windows & macOS endpoint management (MDM / Intune)
    • Enterprise networking and connectivity
    • Firewalls, VPNs, and security fundamentals
  • Calm, structured decision-maker under pressure
  • Clear communicator with both technical and business stakeholders

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Must possess a valid passport and be authorized to travel to the United States and other global locations.
  • This is a 100% remote role with potential travel requirements to the U.S. and international offices.

We Are Seeking People Who:

  • Are continually raising the bar.
  • Are sincerely open-minded and willing to examine their strongest convictions with humility.
