• Support repeatable frameworks for provisioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring, reporting, and lifecycle management of technical services.
• Help maintain validation, peer review, documentation, and controlled‑release standards that reduce configuration drift and improve operational supportability.

Endpoint, Identity & Service Management

• Support and enhance endpoint management, identity, and access services that enable secure and reliable technology operations.
• Implement standards and practices that improve device management, security, compliance, and user experience.
• Automate and improve onboarding, access management, reporting, ServiceNow‑connected workflows, and service delivery processes.
• Develop operational dashboards, reports, Microsoft 365 and Power Platform workflows, and workflow solutions that increase visibility and support decision‑making.

Collaboration & Service Excellence

• Participate in the planning, testing, deployment, and support of technology enhancements and operational improvements.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, knowledge bases, runbooks, and operational resources that support knowledge sharing, self‑service capabilities, AI‑enabled services, version‑controlled change workflows, and long‑term supportability.
• Partner with technical and business stakeholders to solve problems and deliver meaningful outcomes.
• Contribute to service continuity, operational readiness, security initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience administering Windows and Linux server environments across physical, virtualized, and cloud‑hosted platforms.

• Familiarity with ServiceNow‑integrated workflows, event‑driven automation, and operational service management.
• Ability to document technical processes, maintain supportable automation, and work within version‑controlled or peer‑reviewed workflows.
