Coordinate with vendors and third‑party providers on escalations, fault resolution, and service restoration.
Implement approved changes following agreed change management processes, ensuring evidence capture and rollback planning
Provide Level 2 troubleshooting for meeting room and office technology, including deeper configuration issues.
Identify recurring issues and contribute to problem management and continuous improvement

About you

We are looking for someone who brings the following experience and strengths:

Strong experience administering Microsoft environments including Microsoft 365, Teams, Intune, and identity and access fundamentals
Demonstrated ability to manage patching, configuration, monitoring, and incident resolution within a controlled environment
Strong written documentation and evidence discipline across tickets, change records, and knowledge articles
Ability to work confidently within change processes and controlled environments

The below is desirable, though not essential:

Experience in ISO 27001-aligned environments and client audit readiness
Familiarity with legal technology platforms (e.g. iManage, Elite 3E, InterAction+)
Exposure to Microsoft Copilot enablement, data loss prevention, and information governance basics

Attributes:

Curious, structured in your approach to problem solving, and eager to learn
Strong people skills and professionalism when working with end users
Able to work well under pressure and manage competing priorities, while maintaining attention to detail and quality of outcomes
Proactive, reliable, and comfortable working with minimal supervision
Detail-focused, organised, and disciplined, with a strong sense of accountability for completing and evidencing work

If you are detail‑focused, technically confident, and enjoy improving systems and processes while working in a collaborative team that values enthusiasm and a good sense of humour – we'd love to hear from you.
