• Supporting cybersecurity standards and procedures
• Helping assess and onboard third-party software, including technical reviews and vendor documentation for risk and procurement

Coordination and Documentation

• Coordinating incidents, requests, changes, and escalations with users, service partners, and vendors, and keeping stakeholders informed until issues are resolved
• Acting as the liaison among business users, application, infrastructure, security, and procurement teams
• Tracking project actions and risks and giving regular status updates
• Maintaining software license, renewal, and purchase information
• Writing and updating procedures, design documents, support guides, disaster-recovery plans, and knowledge articles

What You Bring

• Working knowledge of remote desktop technologies, Windows Server, Active Directory, networking, and application delivery
• Experience with authentication, Microsoft Entra ID, single sign-on, firewalls, DNS, certificates, databases, web services, and OpenShift or similar container platforms
• The ability to diagnose issues that cross several technical domains
• Clear written communication, strong documentation habits, and a customer-service mindset
• Comfort collaborating with a multicultural, globally distributed team
• Ability to juggle competing requests, work independently, and stay calm in high-impact incidents

Preferred

• 3+ years of progressive experience with Windows and Windows Server administration, Active Directory, and remote desktop technologies
• Certifications in Microsoft, virtualization, networking, cloud, cybersecurity, or IT service management
• Experience with technical project coordination, disaster recovery, operational readiness, and controlled production changes
