• Serve as a floor lead and mentor to Tier 1 and Tier 2 Help Desk staff; review tickets for quality and model best practices in technical troubleshooting and customer service.

• Act as backup to the IT Systems Manager for Help Desk operational decisions, including ticket triage, prioritization, escalation, and incident response.

• Create and maintain knowledge base articles, runbooks, and standard operating procedures to improve first-contact resolution and reduce escalations.

• Support a blend of help desk and light system administration responsibilities, including PowerShell usage and Microsoft 365 administration.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on administration of Microsoft 365 and hybrid identity environments (Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID), including:

  • User lifecycle management

  • MFA and conditional access

  • Sign-in log analysis

• Practical PowerShell skills, including the ability to write, modify, and explain scripts.

• Experience with at least one endpoint management/RMM platform (e.g., Intune, SCCM, NinjaOne).
