Drive MDM enrollment, configuration, patch compliance through Automox, hardware lifecycle, and zero-touch provisioning. Own identity and access in Okta.

Own SaaS administration across the company’s stack including Google Workspace, GitHub, 1Password, AWS account-level access, and the long tail of business SaaS. License rationalization is a continuous responsibility, not a yearly fire drill. Mentor IT Engineers and Helpdesk through code review of scripts and Worklets, on-call coverage, and structured 1:1s. Set and track team KPIs covering ticket responsiveness, patch and MDM coverage, access review completion, and IT spend efficiency. Be a power user of Automox.

Python or TypeScript is a plus. You can read, review, and write automation that runs in production. A track record of automating manual work and shrinking ticket backlogs, not just managing them.
