• Provide clear communication, sound judgment, and timely follow-up to users throughout the ticket lifecycle, including for high-impact or recurring issues.

• Support user onboarding, offboarding, and access changes in Entra ID (Azure AD), helping ensure accuracy, timeliness, and alignment with established controls.
• Troubleshoot MFA, sign-in, and access issues; identify patterns, recommend corrective actions, and collaborate with Identity and Security teams on conditional access or policy-related issues when appropriate.
• Support Intune-managed Windows devices, including compliance issues, application installs, device configuration, and advanced endpoint troubleshooting.
• Document troubleshooting steps, resolutions, root-cause findings, and escalation details accurately in the ticketing system.
• Contribute to knowledge base articles, standard operating procedures, and support documentation to improve consistency, knowledge sharing, and service quality.
• Follow established incident, change, and security processes in a regulated environment, applying sound judgment and escalating risk appropriately.
• Assist end users during tenant transitions, acquisitions, divestitures, and device refresh activities, while helping identify opportunities to reduce disruption and improve execution.
• Participate in day-to-day technology operations and contribute to service improvements, recurring issue reduction, and operational maturity initiatives.
• Collaborate closely with Infrastructure, Security, and Identity teams to resolve complex issues, improve support standards, and strengthen the end-user computing environment.

Knowledge, Skills, and/or Abilities:

• 5–8+ years of Service Desk, End User Support, or End User Computing experience in a corporate environment; broader experience may be considered for a Senior Service Desk Engineer scope.
