Let's not pretend the hours are conventional.
While most people are winding down, you're spinning up. You're the one who catches the "urgent" Slack message at 9pm AU time before a client even finishes typing it. You've made peace with an unusual schedule, and honestly? You kind of like it.
If that's you, keep reading.
We're First Focus, Australia's #1 MSP (Cloud Tango says so, 9 years running). With 360+ staff across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines, we support some genuinely great clients and we do it well. You can read more about us and our values at https://www.firstfocus.com.au/about-us/
This isn't a solo afterhours grind. You'll be part of a dedicated afterhours team, with a clear roster, proper escalation paths, and teammates who actually answer when you ping them. Structured, supported, and never left hanging at 2am with a P1 and no backup.
What You'll Be Doing
- Handling tickets across Microsoft AD, Azure, M365, and Exchange while Australia sleeps
- Troubleshooting desktops, servers, firewalls, and networks across a varied client base
- Owning the queue during your shift: triaging, resolving, and escalating with good judgement
- Documenting incidents properly so the day team doesn't start their morning with mystery
- Supporting cloud platforms: Azure AD, Entra, HyperV, Citrix, Veeam
- Being the calm voice clients hear when something's gone sideways after hours
Requirements
What You'll Bring
- 2+ years of MSP or helpdesk experience because you've handled enough incidents to know what "urgent" really means
- Solid grounding in Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and Windows Server
- Familiarity with PSA/RMM tools (ConnectWise Manage or similar)
- Clear, confident written and spoken English. Concise updates matter more at midnight
- Cool head under pressure. Afterhours is exactly the wrong time to panic
