• Operate and modernize the network environment, supporting the migration toward a single-vendor, single-pane-of-glass architecture (for example, Cisco Meraki) designed for high availability, including firewalls, switching, wireless, and SD-WAN
• Implement and support a Zero-Trust security model in which all access is verified, including certificate-based Wi-Fi, least-privilege role-based access, centralized logging, and integration with a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution
• Perform all work within an ITIL-aligned operational framework, including incident, problem, change, and configuration management, and contribute to the maturation of documented policies, procedures, and runbooks
• Drive lifecycle management and remediation initiatives across endpoints, infrastructure, and cloud services, including device encryption, OS currency, patching, and decommissioning of end-of-life hardware and software
• Maintain accurate documentation of the environment, configurations, and standard operating procedures, and support audit and compliance objectives such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2
• Provide senior-level escalation support to the IT and Help Desk teams, and mentor junior administrators and coordinators
• Partner with leadership to evaluate, plan, and deploy new technologies in accordance with the technology roadmap
• Perform other related duties as required
