• Incident Management: Investigate and resolve patch-related issues, ensuring minimal downtime and user disruption. Support the IT team during security incidents by applying emergency patches or fixes as required.
• Automation and Tools: Leverage patch management tools (SCCM, WSUS, Baramundi, inTune) to streamline patch deployment. Identify opportunities to automate processes for greater efficiency.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Experience: Proven experience in a similar role, with a strong understanding of server and client patching processes.
• Technical Proficiency: Expertise in patch management tools and system administration (Windows, Linux, macOS). Familiarity with scripting languages (PowerShell, Bash) for automation tasks. Knowledge of IT security principles and practices, including vulnerability management.
• Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Excellent organizational and time-management abilities. Effective communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.
