You’ll mentor technicians across Support Services and Centralised Services and provide occasional team leadership cover, including running huddles and handling performance conversations when required.
What’s in it for you...

- Act as the Level 3 escalation point for complex Microsoft 365 and security issues. Lead major incident recovery, root cause analysis and vendor escalations.
- Set and validate security baselines that support Essential Eight and SMB1001 alignment. Review maturity assessments, remediation plans and audit evidence, and explain risks to clients in plain English.
- Oversee security alert triage and response workflows, review high‑risk changes and provide security sign‑off where required.
- Standardise MSP tooling, including Autotask, Datto RMM and IT Glue, and build automation that saves the team time.

- Hands‑on experience with endpoint security tools and security alert monitoring, with the ability to review and coach others on their work.
- Confidence explaining Essential Eight controls to non‑technical clients and taking ownership of the technical quality of work across the team.
- Commercial awareness around billable work, quoting and pricing, plus a disciplined approach to change control and documentation.
- A current Microsoft certification or willingness to obtain one within your first six months, plus a commitment to keeping your certifications current.
