Role and Responsibilities
- Act as the final escalation point for complex technical support tickets, resolving issues that require deep expertise.
- Design, implement, and manage infrastructure solutions across on-premise, cloud (Azure), and hybrid environments.
- Lead client-facing technical projects from scoping and design through to successful implementation and handover.
- Configure and optimise advanced Microsoft 365 services, including security, compliance, and telephony (Teams Phone).
- Administer and secure multi-tenant environments using modern management tools (e.g., CIPP).
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to Service Desk Analysts, contributing to their professional growth.

- Exceptional problem-solving skills with a strategic, forward-thinking approach.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven ability to self-direct, manage projects, and make high-level technical decisions.
Qualification
While advanced industry certifications (e.g., Microsoft Azure Administrator/Expert, M365 Enterprise Administrator Expert) are highly regarded, your proven hands-on experience, project portfolio, and deep technical expertise are most important.
