MSP Systems Architect
Worldwide
Design the operating system that makes an MSP simpler, stronger, and scalable. If you can look at a messy operation, identify the underlying patterns, and turn them into a practical system people will actually use, this role was built for you. The Opportunity We are seeking an experienced MSP Systems Architect to work directly with leadership on simplifying and standardizing operations. This is not documentation for documentation’s sake. The mission is to reduce friction, clarify ownership, improve consistency, and create a strong operational foundation for growth. What You Will Build * Operational workflows with defined triggers, owners, handoffs, and completion standards. * Practical SOPs, checklists, templates, and documentation technicians will actually use. * Consistent client onboarding and offboarding systems. * Standardized service-delivery and internal coordination processes. * A prioritized automation roadmap focused on eliminating repetitive work and preventable errors. * A maintainable operating framework that can evolve as the company grows. What We Are Looking For * Meaningful MSP operations, service-delivery, or process-improvement experience. * Strong workflow-design and operational-documentation skills. * A practical systems mindset: simplify first, automate intelligently, and avoid needless complexity. * Ability to challenge assumptions respectfully. * Ability to translate leadership’s vision into usable systems. * Excellent English communication. * Confidence collaborating directly with leadership. Why This Work Matters Your work will influence how the company delivers services, trains employees, manages quality, and scales. You will not be handed a finished blueprint—you will help create it. Engagement * Hourly, collaborative engagement with agreed real-time overlap hours. * Long-term relationship preferred when there is a strong fit. * Deliverables must be practical, documented, reusable, and maintainable. * We value ownership, candor, integrity, and continuous improvement. * Comfort with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and collaborative documentation tools is essential. How to Apply Please describe the most meaningful MSP system or operational workflow you have designed, including: * The original problem. * What you changed. * The tools involved. * The measurable or observable result. * A sanitized sample of an SOP, workflow, or process map, if available.
