● Manage device lifecycle operations, including procurement support, imaging, deployment, inventory, logistics, maintenance, and decommissioning.
● Build scripts, integrations, and lightweight automation tools to improve IT operations and reduce manual work.
● Maintain accurate documentation for site systems, asset inventory, and standard operating procedures.
● Develop operational runbooks to enable consistent, repeatable support across common IT workflows.
● Contribute to process improvement, documentation, and knowledge sharing to increase IT operational maturity and scalability.
● Partner with IT, Security, Facilities, and business teams to resolve issues and improve the employee technology experience.

● Strong working knowledge of Google Workspace administration, including users, groups, organizational units, Drive, and security settings.
● Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Entra ID / Azure AD administration.
● Hands-on scripting and automation experience using Bash, PowerShell, Python, or similar tools.
● Strong macOS support experience, including hardware, operating system, application troubleshooting, and endpoint management.
● Experience with device management platforms such as Intune, Jamf, and Apple Business Manager.
