• Provide basic Microsoft 365 and Azure support
• Perform first-level triage for virtual server and system issues
• Accurately document work and manage tickets using established workflows

• Command line and OS troubleshooting
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical users
• Comfortable working in a ticket-driven environment and managing priorities
