Pliancy
Senior IT Consultant
Pliancy, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
About the role
What’s an average day like?
The clients you’ll work with are exclusively Life Sciences Organizations and Capital Management firms (likely Venture Capital, Private Equity, or Hedge Funds). These clients are very friendly and enjoyable to work with. Pliancy prides itself on working with clients who respect our team and expertise. You’re treated as one of their own, not as an outside individual. You’ll get to collaborate with teammates to solve interesting, important challenges, all of whom have a passion for technology and helping people. You'll love our culture if you love innovating, building relationships, and socializing with fellow team members.
A typical week is a mix of four-hour and eight-hour scheduled site visits, consulting with your primary clients, researching solutions, implementing projects, using technology to improve processes and workflows, improving documentation, training users, and responding to ad-hoc requests. You’ll also enjoy catered lunches onsite or meet with teammates nearby for meals and coffee. When not scheduled at your clients’ sites, you may drop in at the local office to collaborate with a coworker on pending issues. The remainder of the time is spent with the team on internal solutions, special projects, ticket escalations, and learning new technologies.
Who are we looking for?
You’re an attentive, communicative, and sociable person who loves connecting with the people you support and working in a team environment. To you, clients are people, not cases to solve — you build relationships, and as a by-product, you build trust. Few things make you feel better at the end of a workday than helping your team work swiftly and efficiently toward a common goal. You look out for your people, and they’re grateful for your responsiveness. You enjoy solving business problems through the clever use of emerging technologies, often pioneering the adoption of these tools.
