  • Administer message storage and retrieval systems, including search functionality, search term storage, and associated administrative tools
  • Implement and maintain role-based access control (RBAC) and advanced security controls to protect sensitive information
  • Provision, manage, and dispose of sensitive account bins used to control access to families of protected documents and systems

  • Support an agreed-upon shift schedule, including a designated team lead responsible for managing staffing assignments and ensuring appropriate coverage per shift
  • Communicate any proposed schedule changes to the Customer in advance for approval

  • Oversee daily performance and operations of IT messaging systems
  • Maintain accurate records of daily data communication transactions, problems encountered, remedial actions taken, and installation activities
  • Log incidents and provide direct support to end users
  • Serve as a tiered point of contact for all issues related to Customer-supported applications
  • Provide technical assistance to messaging system users, with a focus on messaging-specific support
  • Maintain a service-oriented perspective, understanding the relationships, dependencies, and requirements among hardware, software components, and supporting organizations
  • Respond to user questions and resolve issues submitted via telephone, email, or the Customer's ticketing system
  • Assist users with the operation and use of specific application messaging systems
  • Respond to incidents or findings from system monitoring tools, taking proactive, remedial, or preventative action to ensure service continuity and system availability in line with service-level objectives
  • Monitor daily operational tasks, including environment health, spills, message rejections, message flow, and abnormalities across current and legacy messaging systems
  • Develop, follow, and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all relevant processes
  • Review SOPs at least every six months and provide recommendations to the Customer for needed updates
  • Operate within a shared help desk environment and become familiar with triage processes for help desk calls related to mission applications outside one's primary focus area
  • Provide basic Tier 1 or Tier 2 support for mission applications beyond the primary messaging system, as needed
Requirements:
  • Experience answering questions via emails, hotline, and tickets
  • Experience answering users' inquiries regarding computer software and hardware operation to resolve problems
  • Experience entering commands and observing system function to verify correct operations and detect errors
  • Experience installing and performing minor repairs to hardware, software, and peripheral equipment, following design or installation specifications
  • Experience overseeing the daily performance of computer systems
  • Experience setting up equipment for employee use, performing or ensuring proper installation of communication, operating systems, and appropriate software
  • Experience maintaining record of daily data communication transactions, problems and remedial action taken, and installation activities
  • Experience reading technical manuals, conferring with users, and conducting computer diagnostics to investigate and resolve problems and to provide technical assistance and support
  • Experience monitoring events and performing corrective actions according to documentation
  • Experience escalating incident reports to required groups and monitoring incidents
  • US citizenship and an active TS/SCI with Polygraph security clearance required
Desired Experience:
  • Experience of making changes to databases by reviewing procedures found within Database Management System Manuals, or similar SOP documents
  • Experience updating and communicating with users about the progress of problem remediation
  • Experience participating in the deployment of applications and hardware impacting the current and proposed IT tools used in the field location
