• Deploy, configure, and support Windows devices using Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot.

• Support company‑owned iOS devices and assist with mobile device enrollment, applications, profiles, and device‑management requests.

• Triage user‑reported phishing, quarantined messages, and Microsoft Defender alerts, escalating security or infrastructure concerns when appropriate.

• Assist with hardware provisioning, staging, shipping, asset records, replacements, and office moves, and maintain clear support documentation and knowledge resources.

What We're Looking For:

• 3+ years of hands‑on IT support, service desk, help desk, or desktop support experience; 3‑5 years preferred.

• Hands‑on experience with both Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID.

• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot.

• Strong Windows 11 troubleshooting and Microsoft 365 support experience, including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive.

• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals including DNS, DHCP, IP addressing, Wi‑Fi, and VPN connectivity.

• Experience working within a ticketing or IT service management platform.

• Excellent customer‑service, communication, organization, documentation, and follow‑up skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non‑technical users.

• Associate degree in information technology or a related field, or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and industry certifications; bachelor's degree preferred.

• Ability to work 100% on‑site in Leawood, KS during the assigned schedule and provide occasional evening or weekend support when business needs require.

• Ability to lift and move computer equipment weighing up to 50 pounds.

Preferred Experience:

• JAMF or another iOS mobile device management (MDM) platform.

• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint/Office 365 or hybrid identity and Entra Connect.

• Basic PowerShell scripting.

• Supporting a multi‑site, retail, or restaurant environment.

• Relevant certifications such as CompTIA A+, Network+, or Microsoft 365/Endpoint certifications.

Work Location & Schedule:

This is a 100% on‑site position at KBP Brands' Home Office in Leawood, Kansas. Remote and hybrid arrangements are not available. The anticipated standard schedule is 8:00 AM‑5:00 PM or 9:00 AM‑6:00 PM Central Time. Occasional evening and/or weekend support may be required based on business needs.
