* Ensure compliance with IT policies, procedures, and security protocols, including network and cloud security standards.
* Document support processes and resolutions for future reference.

* Experience supporting or administering Microsoft Azure (e.g., virtual machines, storage, Active Directory, networking, security groups).
* Experience in a Support/Service/Helpdesk environment with exposure to SLA-based ticketing systems.
