• Creating user guides and knowledge articles to support self-service.
• Contributing to team capability by mentoring others and staying current with modern workplace trends.

What you'll bring:

• Experience in a Desktop Support, Service Desk, or Modern Workplace/End-User Computing role.
• Strong knowledge of Windows 10/11, MacOS, and ChromeOS/Google Workspace tools, along with mobile OS (iOS/Android).
• Experience with MDM or device management tools (Endpoint Central, Intune, SCCM, Apple Business Manager, etc.).
• Good understanding of security controls like MFA, Conditional Access, and DLP.
• Experience with cloud identity providers such as Entra ID or Google Identity, including SSO.
• Solid troubleshooting skills across devices, applications, networks, and security tools.
• Familiarity with ITSM processes (incident, change, asset) and tools like ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, or ServiceDesk Plus.
• Experience with EDR tools such as Microsoft Defender or CrowdStrike.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with Google Workspace.
• Knowledge of GPO or OS hardening practices.
• Scripting skills (PowerShell or similar) or experience automating workflows.
• Exposure to observability tools such as Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, or Site24x7.
