• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain comprehensive records of all activities and generate periodic performance reports. Provide detailed metrics to management, both internal and customer-facing, as requested.
• Incident & Change Management: Execute established procedures for event, incident, and change management. Follow escalation procedures and troubleshooting processes while fostering a collaborative and respectful team environment.

• Comfortable working with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (Terraform, or Azure Resource Manager templates) is a plus.
• Familiarity with cloud monitoring and alerting tools (Azure Monitor, Sentinel).
• Knowledge of networking concepts (firewall, VPN, VLAN, DNS, DHCP).
• Strong understanding of security best practices and ability to work closely with security teams to enforce policies.
  

Mindset & Soft Skills

• Detail-oriented and proactive - does not wait for things to break; maintains a preventative maintenance approach.
• Problem-solver under pressure - can diagnose critical issues rapidly, especially during tax season or peak workload times.
• Collaborative communicator - capable of working across multiple teams (security, data/AI, and helpdesk) with clear and non-technical explanations.
• Documentation-focused - committed to building and maintaining knowledge base for ProSeries, infrastructure diagrams, and incident playbooks.
• Strong project management skills to lead initiatives like ProSeries migration, Azure improvements, or VDI expansions.
• Experience working in fast-paced, compliance-heavy environments (financial services, accounting, legal, etc.) is a strong advantage.
  

Cultural Fit

• Comfortable working in entrepreneurial and high-growth environments where ownership mentality is expected.
• Appreciates structure but embraces flexibility - helps establish best practices and
