Technical Enablement & IT Support
- Act as an internal technical resource to support business users and answer day-to-day technology questions
- Provide occasional hands-on support for select end-user issues (e.g., hardware, peripherals, connectivity), without being the primary help desk function
- Assist with hardware setup, deployment, and lifecycle activities in coordination with IT leadership and MSP partners
- Identify opportunities to improve business processes through technology and implement practical solutions using existing platforms
- Design and develop lightweight solutions such as reports, workflows, and applications (e.g., Power Apps, SharePoint, Fusion Manage configurations)

- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365 (Entra ID, SharePoint Online, Teams)
- Demonstrated experience designing access models across multiple systems
- Experience working with managed service providers and external security vendors
- Practical understanding of cybersecurity frameworks (NIST CSF, ISO 27001 concepts)
- Ability to influence without authority and navigate resistance to change
Nice to Have
- Experience in manufacturing, engineering, or regulated industries
- Familiarity with Microsoft Purview, sensitivity labels, or DLP concepts
- Exposure to AI readiness initiatives and AI deployments

- Experience with Power Apps, Power Automate, and SharePoint solution development
