Partner with security, service delivery, and project teams to align technical decisions with business and compliance requirements
Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation and standards
Provide mentorship and technical guidance to other engineers
Communicate confidently and professionally with client stakeholders
*Required Experience & Qualifications *
10+ years of professional IT experience
Extensive MSP experience supporting multiple client environments
Advanced expertise in Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Active Directory / Entra ID, and network design
Proven ability to architect solutions—not just support existing systems
Strong understanding of security fundamentals (MFA, backups, least privilege, endpoint protection)
