• Support day‑time security hygiene, including access reviews, endpoint protection alerts, patch compliance, account security, and basic incident triage.
• Escalate security risks or suspicious activity according to internal procedures.
• Participate in internal IT projects, upgrades, migrations, process improvements, and system rollouts.
• Maintain documentation, runbooks, knowledge base articles, and standard operating procedures.
• Use PowerShell, automation tools, and AI‑assisted workflows to improve repeatable IT tasks such as onboarding, offboarding, ticket routing, reporting, documentation, device management, and Microsoft 365 administration.
• Support internal adoption of AI‑enabled productivity tools where appropriate.
• Comfortable experimenting with AI tools to improve documentation, troubleshooting, and IT service delivery while following company security and governance standards.

Qualifications:

• 3–5 years of progressive IT support, systems administration, or internal IT experience.
• Strong hands‑on experience supporting end users, endpoints, business applications, and Microsoft 365.
• Working knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, Entra ID, group policy, permissions, and access management.
