• Implement and maintain Single Sign-On (SSO) across business applications, ensuring secure and seamless authentication.
• Design and manage API-based integrations between internal and third-party systems to streamline workflows and data flow.
• Lead integration of systems across IT tools (identity, MDM, ticketing, collaboration, and security platforms) to improve automation and visibility.
• Own patch management for Windows and Mac endpoints and servers, ensuring timely deployment of security and OS updates.

AI & Automation

• Identify and implement AI-driven automation opportunities across IT operations (e.g., ticket triage, alerting, reporting, and routine maintenance tasks).
• Build scripts and automation workflows to reduce manual effort in provisioning, monitoring, and patching.
• Evaluate and integrate AI-powered IT tools (chatbots, monitoring/anomaly detection, self-service support) to improve efficiency and end-user experience.
• Stay current with emerging AI and automation trends relevant to IT infrastructure and recommend adoption where valuable.

IT Service Management

• Apply ITIL foundation principles across incident, problem, change, and request management processes.
• Drive continuous improvement of IT service delivery through structured ITSM practices and documented workflows.

Security, Domains & Licensing

• Manage domain registrations and SSL certificates, ensuring timely renewals and proper configuration.
• Oversee software and infrastructure license management, tracking renewals, compliance, and cost optimization.
