You’re the person people turn to when the issue isn’t straightforward.
The one who understands how the environment fits together.
The one who doesn’t just fix the problem but thinks about why it happened and how to stop it happening again.

- Working across the Microsoft stack, including:

- Good hands-on exposure to Microsoft 365, Intune, Entra ID, and endpoint management
- Awareness of cyber security principles, vulnerability management, and modern endpoint protection
- Confidence delivering technical projects, not just supporting them
- A methodical approach to change, documentation, and risk
