Review ticket activity and user feedback to identify recurring issues, support trends, and opportunities for training or service improvement. 

Help coordinate smaller IT projects, deployments, testing activities, and operational initiatives by tracking tasks, risks, follow-up items, and status. 

Review support procedures, workflows, checklists, and knowledge articles, recommending practical improvements where appropriate.
