About K3 Advisory Group

K3 Advisory Group is a UK professional services group with 18 trading subsidiaries and 1,000+ staff spanning corporate finance, tax, restructuring and insolvency, legal, financial planning, and technology-enabled advisory services.

The Malaysia Tech Hub delivers group-wide IT operations, supporting multiple entities and time zones whilst balancing pace and capability with strict governance, security, audit and confidentiality standards.

Role Purpose

Deliver responsive first-line IT support and maintain accurate, auditable control of hardware and software assets across the K3 Group. Act as the critical link between users, Tier 2 support, external providers and IT leadership to ensure consistent service delivery, rapid resolution and regulatory compliance across multiple subsidiaries and time zones.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as first point of contact (Level 1) for IT incidents and service requests; triage, log and prioritise tickets in line with SLAs; escalate to Level 2, infrastructure and external providers as required.

• Provide remote support for hardware, software, Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Entra ID) and business applications including Turnkey IPS and Virtual Cabinet.

• Manage user account lifecycle: provisioning, access changes and de-provisioning in line with Access Control Policy and least-privilege principles.

• Own and maintain the IT asset register; manage procurement, asset allocation, transfer, refresh scheduling and secure disposal. Conduct periodic audits and reconcile discrepancies.

• Track software licence entitlements across subsidiaries; flag over-use, under-use or renewal dates to mitigate compliance and budget risk.

• Support new-starter onboarding and leaver offboarding; maintain service desk knowledge base; produce ticket metrics reports.

• Apply Information Security Policy, Access Control Policy and Data Protection standards in all activities. Escalate suspected incidents or breaches promptly to IT leadership.

Required Experience & Skills:

• 2+ years in IT support or service desk role, ideally within professional services, financial services or multi-entity environments.

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 administration (Entra ID, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune or equivalent MDM).

• Proven ability to manage an IT asset register and track full hardware and software lifecycle.

• Working knowledge of ITSM platforms (Halo or similar); ticket management, SLA monitoring, reporting.

• Exposure to ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials or comparable information security frameworks.

• Relevant certifications: CompTIA A+, ITIL Foundation, Microsoft (MS-900, MD-102).

• Strong written and verbal English communication; ability to explain technical issues clearly to non-technical staff.

• Knowledge of remote desktop tools and IT Service Management tools would also be an advantage.

• Patience and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

• Methodical documentation and record-keeping; meticulous attention to detail.

• Comfortable working across time zones and supporting UK-based stakeholders during overlapping hours.

Key Competencies

Ownership: Takes problems through to resolution without being chased. Follows up and tracks outcomes.

Precision: Maintains accurate records and notices discrepancies others miss.

Judgement: Knows when to escalate and does so early.

Adaptability: Comfortable with shifting priorities across diverse subsidiaries with differing needs.

Discretion: Handles sensitive client and commercial data with appropriate confidentiality.

Governance, Security & Compliance

Confidentiality: Client and commercial data is sensitive. Need-to-know access is the default.

Security by design: Access controls, least-privilege principles and data minimisation are built into every support decision.

Regulatory awareness: For FCA-regulated entities (Pareto, Luna), additional controls apply. Escalate uncertainty early.

Data protection: UK GDPR and Group standards apply across all subsidiaries. Retention, deletion and lawful basis are part of normal lifecycle.

Audit & evidence: All asset movements, access changes and support interactions are logged and auditable.
