A long-tenured IT leader is retiring, and this firm needs a hands-on player-coach to step in. It is not a people-manager seat.

- Active Directory and Entra ID: group design, service accounts, SPNs, app registrations, Graph API access and credential rotation
- Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online: mail routing, mail security, DLP, retention, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive
- VMware vSphere and the Windows Server estate, plus physical servers (racking, cabling, diagnostics, part swaps)
- Windows and Samba file servers: permissions, quotas, capacity and migrations
- Networking and firewalls: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, wireless, certificates and monitoring
- Security: endpoint protection, MFA, conditional access, phishing simulations and alert response
- IT controls in an audited environment: monthly access reviews, change management, exceptions and DDQ support
- eDiscovery and legal hold searches with Legal and Compliance
- Avaya PBX support and the move to an outsourced voice provider
- Licensing, renewals and vendor management (M365, Adobe, Box, Bloomberg, Verizon and more)
- Server room power and cooling: UPS, PDUs, HVAC and coordination with building vendors
- PowerShell and Python automation
- Leading and mentoring the desktop support team and serving as the top technical escalation point
