"My first priority would be soaking up as much information about culture, process and KPIs as possible. I'd embark on a 'listening tour' in order to engage in deep conversation with my team and with my colleagues to discover the greatest current needs and how to prioritize them based on company goals for the quarter.

My first goal if I was hired would be to start by learning the systems and where I could be an asset to each person in the department with my ultimate goal to be making the company look good. It may take a little bit of time to get everything down, but some of the immediate things I could start doing is checking the servers for good virus protection, checking storage, and learning what each person does in the organization.
