• Driving proactive maintenance, optimisation, and continuous improvement across customer environments
• Establishing and maintaining technical standards, baselines, and best practices
• Leading the adoption of automation (PowerShell, Microsoft Graph) to improve efficiency and consistency
• Supporting AI-enabled and automated service delivery initiatives
• Collaborating with Cyber and Compliance teams to embed frameworks such as Essential Eight, ISO 27001, and ASD ISM
• Supporting audit readiness, compliance reporting, and security posture assessments
• Producing customer-facing insights, recommendations, and roadmap guidance
• Mentoring engineers and contributing to a high-performance, continuous improvement culture

What You’ll Bring

• Strong experience across Microsoft 365, endpoint management, identity, and security technologies
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a passion for continuous improvement and automation
• The ability to translate technical capability into meaningful business outcomes
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to identify risks, trends, and optimisation opportunities
• High attention to detail, particularly across security and compliance
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of customer outcomes
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to deliver clear, actionable insights to stakeholders
• A collaborative approach, working effectively across technical and business teams
• A commitment to mentoring others and lifting team capability

Qualifications & Experience

• Microsoft certifications such as MS-102, MD-102, SC-300, SC-200, AZ-500 (or equivalent)
• ITIL or equivalent service management certification
• Cybersecurity or endpoint management certifications aligned to Microsoft or industry frameworks
