    • Solid understanding of Active Directory, GPOs, FSLogix, and networking basics (DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP).

    • Experience with OS migrations (e.g., Win 10 to Win 11, VDI upgrades).

  • Industry Experience: Prior experience in Investment Banking or Financial Services within a regulated, global environment.

  • Legal Eligibility: Must be legally authorized to work in Canada .

Languages & Soft Skills:
