• Build exception handling so failures can be identified, investigated and recovered from without adding operational risk
• Own automation, optimisation and continuous improvement of endpoint-management processes within the EUC function
• Work closely with the DevOps engineer and colleagues across Infrastructure, Development, Applications, Cyber Security and Service Delivery
• Protect the improvement remit so the role is not absorbed into day-to-day EUC support
