* Maintain accurate IT asset inventory and support licence compliance.
* Assist with local network maintenance, office connectivity, and printer configurations.
* Ensure adherence to internal IT security policies and best practices.
* Collaborate with international IT teams on updates, software rollouts, and global initiatives.
