**What are the main responsibilities for this role?**

At Crimson we depend on having our IT systems work smoothly. We are a fast-paced, global company, and down-time makes us sad. As one of our IT Technicians you will be the first line of defence for our staff and customers, helping make sure that we can keep changing the world, student by student.

Crimson is a modern, cloud-first company, without any legacy IT systems. You will very quickly learn what modern, global, high-growth companies need in order to move as quickly as possible. We use best-of-breed systems like Salesforce, Marketo and Canvas, and we'll support you to upskill on these technologies in order to support our business, as well as helping you learn the skills to integrate other tools with these systems.
