Responsibilities

Own the MIS service desk queue: triage, prioritisation, escalations, stakeholder communications, and continuous improvement.
Establish a consistent global operating cadence and on-call rotation (coverage, escalation paths, and post-incident follow-up) to support 24/7/365 operations.
Partner with HR and the Assets team on joiner/mover/leaver processes, onboarding/offboarding, and access readiness.
Drive documentation and operational reporting (volumes, backlog, root causes); deliver monthly SLT reporting on performance, risks, and improvements.
Own end-user device lifecycle (provisioning, onboarding/offboarding, repairs, refresh, secure decommissioning) for Windows and macOS, including meeting room/conferencing technology (Neat Bar).
Administer and mature endpoint management via Microsoft Intune and Apple Business Manager: configuration, compliance policies, application deployment, and patching workflows.
Ensure endpoint security fundamentals are enforced (patching, encryption, secure remote support, least-privilege local admin) and that Sophos MDR operates effectively across managed laptops.
Administer and continuously improve Microsoft 365 services (Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint/OneDrive) with strong operational discipline.
Lead administration of Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD): joiner/mover/leaver processes, group and role management, authentication methods, conditional access, and access reviews.
Manage enterprise application access governance with a strong RBAC and least-privilege mindset, ensuring privileged access is tightly controlled and auditable, and support SSO adoption across business applications.
Run an application intake and review process with InfoSec, Compliance, and Finance so requests are properly assessed on security, cost, and supportability.
Maintain an authoritative application inventory and ownership model; identify and consolidate duplicate tools to reduce cost and operational overhead.
Own operational administration of core applications and SaaS tools (Slack, Teams, SharePoint, Atlassian, Zendesk, HubSpot, Gong, Zoom, Thrive, and more), ensuring stable service and licensing optimisation.
Proactively identify gaps in security controls and tooling, and drive remediation with InfoSec/Compliance, ensuring MIS services align with enterprise security policy (identity, endpoint configuration, access control, SaaS governance).
Partner with Compliance on audits and evidence requests, support incident response for MIS-managed platforms, and maintain evidence-quality, auditable records; Assured maintains SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001 compliance.
Own governance decisions, risk-based prioritisation, and vendor relationships (renewals, escalations, service level expectations) across MIS-managed platforms.
Own annual MIS budget and licensing planning (forecasting, renewals), and drive roadmap planning balancing user experience, efficiency, and security.
