Senior VMWare Consultant

Senior VMWare Consultant with a business mindset

NNIT is looking for a Senior VMWare Consultant with experience from a service provider or large enterprise infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will enjoy participating in projects for NNIT’s existing and new customers, actively pursue new business opportunities, have strong communication skills, be a true team player with a commitment to success, and will be able to thrive in a fast paced and rapidly changing environment.

Your responsibilities as a VMWare Consultant
You will be part of our Infrastructure Platform Projects team, which is working closely together with our Server Design and Server Operations team, handling thousands of VMs and hundreds of ESXi hosts for more than 45 customers.

Your main responsibilities will be to:

• Manage successful completion of projects, on-time, within budget and with high customer satisfaction
• Provide 3rd level support and take part in our on-call-duty for VMWare
• Identify and pursue additional opportunities to expand our business with the customer
• Provide pre-sales technical support, including completing technical aspects of the proposal/statement of work
• Transfer knowledge to customers and colleagues as part of the delivery
• Mentor less experienced colleagues
• Share ideas with colleagues, customers, etc.

You will join our Infrastructure Platform Projects team
The Infrastructure Platform division consists globally of 70+ employees who are skilled in Server Services, Database Services, Backup and Storage Services and are offering both service design as well as operational and consultancy support.

In the projects team we are around 15 colleagues in DK, China, The Czech Republic and the Philippines with special focus on project delivery. We work closely together with our colleagues in Service Design and Operations.

Your qualifications and experience
You will split your time between participating in projects and 3rd level operation and pursuing new business. As VMWare Consultant you are responsible for your deliverables in projects, service development and other initiatives. But we also expect you to build relations with colleagues and customers, to have a good sense for new opportunities and to translate this to more business with our customers.

The ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience with implementation and operation of virtualisation in a service provider or large enterprise infrastructure. Operational stability is a priority for NNIT and our customers and documented experience with solution design, implementation, documentation and quality in hand-over to operations is therefore a requirement.

You have a VCP and VCAP certification or similar level of knowledge and experience.

VMWare will be your primary technology but profound knowledge in other technologies such as storage systems, Windows, Cloud Services, automation and scripting is an advantage.

We know that the ideal candidate might be hard to find. If you are the right person for our team and for the tasks, we will offer training and mentoring, but we do look for an experienced colleague, who is eager to actively share his/her technical and business experience and knowledge. 

Make your mark on a fast-growing IT company
You will be in contact with many people, inside as well as outside NNIT’s organisation. Your personal skills are therefore important to us.

You will work with project managers, service delivery managers, service owners, technical specialists and architects in NNIT and stakeholders in our customer’s organisation. You must therefore work independently and show initiative with minimum supervision.

You have a positive and problem solving attitude and a business-oriented way of thinking. You quickly learn new technology and apply it appropriately in business situations.

You must be a good colleague, meaning a strong team player, who enjoys contributing to the success of the team. We emphasize professional and personal development and therefore we expect you to be outgoing, eager to seek and share knowledge and experience, and that you deserve the trust and respect of customers and colleagues.

Our team and our customers are international so you must be able to communicate effectively and comfortably in English, both in writing and orally.

You are flexible with regards to working both from NNIT’s offices and from customer locations.
