The Opportunity
Brightflag is looking for an IT Systems Engineer on a contract basis to lead the technical work to align our systems with the global infrastructure of Wolters Kluwer, following the acquisition of the Brightflag business. This is a hands‑on role for someone who can own and deliver the end‑to‑end integration of key systems – including identity, e‑mail, and collaboration systems.

You’ll be Brightflag’s technical go‑to person on the details of the plan and decisions, working closely with both Brightflag leadership and Wolters Kluwer’s IT & Security teams. You’ll represent Brightflag’s technical requirements in integration discussions, ensuring that our team’s productivity and our customers’ experience remain central to planning decisions. The role requires someone who can assess impact, document dependencies, implement changes, and communicate trade‑offs clearly to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Producing technical documentation and impact assessments that support informed decision‑making, including realistic timelines that account for business impact
Identifying risks and dependencies early, with clear recommendations for mitigation
Troubleshooting integration issues and providing hands‑on support during transition phases
Skills & Experience
Deep hands‑on experience with Google Workspace administration, including directory, mail routing, and security settings
Knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online, including hybrid configurations and migration tooling
Experience with SSO platforms and identity federation (SAML, OIDC) and directory synchronization (Azure AD Connect, Google Cloud Directory Sync, or similar)
Familiarity with MDM platforms and device management across Mac and Windows environments
Good experience scripting in Python, PowerShell, or similar for automation and bulk operations
Track record of delivering IT integrations during M&A or organizational transitions
Ability to produce clear technical documentation for both technical and leadership audiences
Comfortable working across organizational boundaries, navigating ambiguity, and balancing enterprise standardization requirements with business unit needs
Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to problem‑solving
The following are a bonus!
Familiarity with Google Workspace CLI tools (GAM/GAMADV‑XTD3) and Google Admin SDK, or Microsoft equivalents (Graph API, PowerShell for Microsoft 365)
Familiarity with compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC2) and how they apply to system migrations
Previous experience integrating a startup or SME company into a larger enterprise environment
