Required Skills and Experience:

• Direct Moodle Experience: Hands-on experience working within Moodle as an administrator, support technician, or advanced instructor/course builder.
• Helpdesk & Ticketing Proficiency: Proven experience managing user support requests through a ticketing system with a focus on SLA adherence and customer satisfaction. (Army Enterprise Service Management Platform/ServiceNow experience highly preferred).
• Training & Facilitation: Experience mentoring, onboarding, or training adult learners or faculty members on software applications.
