Allow us to introduce ourselves
Hello there! We're Appinio, a global market research company that combines an AI-powered insights platform with expert consultancy. On a mission to make the world a little more fact-based, we help companies understand how consumers think and make smarter decisions.
We started out in Hamburg back in 2014, but we're now humbled to call the world our playground, with over 260 employees spread across 13 countries (we're remote-first), 2600+ international clients, delivering research from +190 markets, globally.

Here at Appinio, we value transparency in our recruitment process, and we've created a blog to share what to expect during each step of our journey together: here
Your mission as a Senior IT Administrator (m/f/d)
We are looking for a hands-on Senior IT Administrator to manage and continuously improve our internal IT environment. You will take care of day-to-day IT operations, SaaS administration, user access, hardware provisioning, and support processes, ensuring that employees have the tools and systems they need to work securely and efficiently.
As the company grows, this role will expand toward broader ownership of our IT systems and processes. You will help define scalable ways of working, automate recurring tasks, improve our security and compliance setup, and shape how internal IT supports the business. This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys practical execution today and wants to take on increasing responsibility over time.
Location & working model: This role follows a hybrid model and is based in Hamburg. You'll be expected to be in the office approximately 2 times per week, depending on tasks and collaboration needs.
A few words about the team:
You'll join a small, tight-knit team of three. We sit within Appinio's engineering department (~50 people), which means you'll work closely with other engineers - not in a silo.
We take ownership seriously. The team is small by design, so everyone has real autonomy over their domain and a direct line to decision-making. There's no layer of management between you and the work. If you see something broken or a process that could be automated, you're expected to fix it - and you'll have the time and backing to do so.
Automation and tooling are core to how we operate. We're not a click-ops team. Where it makes sense, we script, integrate, and build instead of doing things manually. You don't need to be a developer, but a willingness to write the occasional script will make you much more effective here.
We make an effort to stay connected - regular game nights, knowledge-sharing sessions with the wider engineering org, and team meet ups.
