• Driving automation through PowerShell scripting and other tools

• Managing the firm’s Azure environment and contributing to infrastructure-as-code projects using Terraform

• Supporting Windows desktop and server environments in a highly available setting

• Liaising with external vendors and service providers

• Playing a key role in incident response, resolution, and documentation

Desired Experience

• 5+ years’ experience in IT support or infrastructure, preferably in finance or professional services

• Expert-level knowledge of Microsoft 365 and related administration

• Deep understanding of Active Directory and Azure AD/Entra ID

• Strong PowerShell scripting skills for automation and system administration

• Proven ability to manage Windows-based endpoints and troubleshoot complex issues

• Hands-on experience with Azure and familiarity with Terraform or similar IaC tools
