• Administer and support the organization's Microsoft cloud environment and core technology platforms
• Manage business technology systems, workplace infrastructure, office technology, and lab technology
• Support the technology needs of Aqueduct's corporate headquarters, including collaboration spaces and shared technology resources

• Execute internal technology initiatives aligned with company priorities
