  • Provide timely updates to users and stakeholders while maintaining an initial response within the first 15 minutes of receiving the ticket

 

End-User Support & Standard Request Fulfillment

  • Resolve common identity and access issues (password resets, account unlocks, MFA assistance).
  • Perform workstation troubleshooting (Wi‑Fi, printers, peripherals, audio/video).

  • Provide basic mobile device assistance (MAM enrollment, email setup, etc...) where applicable.
  • Support onboarding/offboarding by executing checklist items and routing equipment requests as needed.
  • Fulfill access requests via documented procedures (e.g., group adds, shared mailbox access request submissions).

 

Tier 2 Systems Administration & Ecosystem Management

  • Administer and troubleshoot Microsoft 365 (including Entra ID/Azure AD, Exchange, Teams, SharePoint) and Google Workspace environments.
  • Investigate and remediate escalated issues requiring deeper root-cause analysis across identity, email, collaboration, and endpoint services.
  • Execute security and platform maintenance tasks (patching, configuration hygiene, and standardized changes) aligned to client requirements.
  • Coordinate with Tier 3 or vendors as needed to resolve complex incidents and implement durable fixes.

 

Automation & Scripting

  • Develop and maintain PowerShell scripts to streamline repetitive administrative tasks and improve consistency.
  • Build and manage Power Automate workflows to reduce manual effort and improve service delivery.
  • Document automation workflows and operational runbooks; ensure safe change control and rollback plans.
  • Manage WordPress security patches, plugin updates, and general site maintenance (where applicable).
  • Manage monthly Endpoint checks to ensure patches and PC’s are optimally running with security software and are up to date

Web/PC Security (Client Sites)

  • Manage WordPress security patches, plugin updates, and general site maintenance (where applicable).

Documentation, Knowledge Management, and Continuous Improvement

  • Leverage existing knowledge-base articles to resolve issues efficiently and consistently.
  • Create and update KB articles based on repeated issues and newly documented procedures.
  • Identify recurring problems and recommend preventative improvements (automation, standardization, training, or tooling).

 

Escalation & Coordination

  • Escalate incidents or non-standard requests to Tier 3/engineering with clear problem statements and business impact.
  • Include troubleshooting already performed, relevant logs/screenshots, impact/urgency, and user contact details.
  • Track escalations through to resolution and keep users informed throughout the lifecycle.

 

Requirements

  • Strong proficiency administering Microsoft 365 (M365/Azure/Entra) and Google Workspace environments.
  • Proven experience with PowerShell scripting and Power Automate workflow development/maintenance.
  • Experience working in a multi-client environment (MSP background strongly preferred).
  • Excellent troubleshooting and communication skills; customer-first approach to support.
  • Ability to utilize search engines, AI, and other tools to come to research issues and come up with a plan before escalation to Tier 3
  • Ability to document procedures clearly and contribute to a maintainable knowledge base.

Preferred / Bonus

  • Experience with WordPress security hardening and maintenance.
  • Familiarity with endpoint management tools and standardized software deployment practices.
