• Strong experience supporting: Windows 10/11, Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams & Teams Rooms hardware, Lenovo laptops, Apple macOS, iPhone/iPad, Enterprise printing, and basic networking/AV technologies.
• Experience using ServiceNow or similar IT Service Management platforms.
• Experience managing IT vendors and procurement activities.
• Outstanding troubleshooting and analytical problem‑solving abilities.
