Job description

The IT Supervisor is responsible for supervising the day-to-day operations of the IT support team while remaining actively involved in hands-on technical work. This is a player-coach role that requires someone who can lead a team, manage priorities and performance, and personally troubleshoot and resolve complex IT issues. The role will serve as a senior technical resource for the team, providing guidance on infrastructure, networking, cloud, endpoints, security, and user support. The IT Supervisor is expected to lead by example, develop the technical capabilities of the team, and ensure that IT issues are resolved efficiently and within agreed service levels.

• Monitor team performance against SLAs, productivity targets, and service quality expectations.

• Troubleshoot connectivity issues involving local networks, ISPs, firewalls, VPNs, and client environments.
• Analyze packet loss, latency, jitter, traceroutes, and other network diagnostics to identify the source of connectivity problems.
• Support the administration and maintenance of firewalls, VPNs, routing, Wi‑Fi, and network infrastructure.
• Assist in implementing network improvements, redundancy, bandwidth optimization, and connectivity solutions.

Cloud, Endpoints & Systems Administration

• Support the administration of Microsoft Azure/Entra ID and Microsoft 365 environments.
• Manage and troubleshoot endpoint devices using Microsoft Intune/SCCM or similar platforms.
• Support endpoint compliance, patching, security policies, device configuration, and hardware lifecycle management.
• Assist with user provisioning, access management, onboarding, and offboarding.
• Troubleshoot Active Directory/Entra ID, Microsoft 365, workstation, and endpoint‑related issues.
• Ensure IT systems and endpoints are maintained in accordance with company security and operational standards.

• Support the implementation and enforcement of IT security policies and controls.
• Monitor endpoint compliance, access controls, patching, and security configurations.
• Assist in identifying and addressing security risks and vulnerabilities.
• Support the secure deployment and use of AI productivity tools and other technology platforms.
• Escalate security incidents and potential breaches in accordance with established procedures.

IT Operations & Continuous Improvement

• Monitor IT support queues and ensure tickets are properly documented, prioritized, and resolved within agreed SLAs.
• Maintain accurate IT documentation, troubleshooting guides, asset records, and operational p rocedures.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive IT tasks and improve service delivery.
• Use scripting and automation where appropriate to improve IT efficiency.
• Coordinate with vendors and third‑party service providers when technical support or escalation is required.
