The Lead of End-User Technologies will serve as an on-the-ground operational leader for Sonar's local end-user support functions, collaborating closely with the global team. This player-coach role involves hands-on technical work, including tickets, troubleshooting, tooling, and documentation, while also ensuring operational excellence at the squad level.

This position also offers a pathway for developing people leadership skills, laying the groundwork for future growth within Sonar's People Leader track.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in end-user technologies, endpoint engineering, desktop support, or IT operations
• Demonstrated experience in a team lead, senior technician, or senior analyst capacity where you coordinated work across a small team while still performing hands-on technical work
• Strong working knowledge of enterprise identity management, endpoint security, and zero trust networking tooling
• Multi-OS proficiency: comfortable managing and troubleshooting Windows, macOS, and Linux (Ubuntu) endpoints in a corporate environment
• Experience with ITSM platforms for incident, request, and change management workflows
• Familiarity with compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC2) and how they apply to endpoint and identity management
• Clear communicator who can translate technical details into plain language for end users and summarize operational status for leadership
• Comfortable working in a globally distributed team across time zones, with the confidence to own operational decisions and drive escalations independently
• A genuine interest in growing as a people leader — you want to develop skills in coaching, delegation, and team health, not just technical depth
