Original job description
We are seeking an experienced Senior IT Analyst to deliver Tier III consulting and technical leadership across diverse client environments. This role is designed for a seasoned MSP professional who can own solutions end-to-end and engage directly with client leadership.
What You'll Do
Required Skills & Experience
Systems Administration
We're looking for a senior infrastructure professional who can serve as a technical partner to IT leadership. This role will own server administration, identity management, endpoint management, automation, application deployment, and infrastructure standards, while helping guide and develop junior team members.
The ideal candidate is comfortable operating independently and helping develop the skills and decision-making abilities of junior team members. Although this role primarily focuses on Microsoft infrastructure, servers, identity, and endpoint management, familiarity with networking, telecommunications, SCADA systems, or radio networks would be beneficial. This knowledge is not required but would be valuable in supporting operational discussions and providing additional technical coverage across the team.
