• Relevant certifications (e.g., CompTIA, Microsoft, Apple, JAMF, Kandji, InTune) are preferred
• Recent hands‐on experience with hybrid environment management (on‐premises/cloud), advanced endpoint security, and JAMF/Kandji/Intune administration
• Demonstrated project experience supporting cross‐functional lab expansions or major IT/office buildouts
• Ability to document technical procedures in clear, accessible guides and diagrams (network setups, VPN access, process handoffs)
• Experience provisioning user/test accounts with secure role‐based access (Twingate, VPN, lab equipment, MDM)
• Comfortable managing conference/meeting room hardware assets, local server and device inventory, and lifecycle tracking
• Strong cross‐team communication and collaboration skills, with evidence of positive reputation among office peers
