Collaboration & Messaging Administration
  • Manage shared mailboxes, distribution lists, and mail-enabled security groups in Exchange Online.
  • Troubleshoot Microsoft Teams voice, video, and connectivity issues for end users.
  • Administer SharePoint and OneDrive permission structures and support document management requests.

End-User & Desktop Support
  • Diagnose and resolve hardware faults, peripheral issues, and operating system problems.
  • Deploy and configure Windows devices via Microsoft Intune and Autopilot.
  • Troubleshoot Microsoft 365 application issues including Outlook, Teams, Word, and Excel.
  • Maintain asset records and contribute to IT documentation and knowledge base articles.

Remote Monitoring & Management (RMM)
  • Deploy, configure, and maintain RMM tooling across the endpoint estate (e.g. Automox).
  • Manage patch policies, software deployment, and compliance reporting via the RMM platform.
  • Monitor device health and connectivity across remote and on-site endpoints, responding to alerts and remediation tasks.
  • Build and maintain automation workflows within the RMM platform to reduce manual overhead and enforce configuration baselines.
  • Ensure RMM coverage is maintained for all managed devices and that agent health is regularly reviewed.

Requirements:

Essential
  • 2-4 years of experience in an IT Service Desk, Systems Administration, or MSP environment.
  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), including account lifecycle and MFA management.
  • Demonstrable experience with Microsoft Defender 365 and responding to security alerts.
