• Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize tasks effectively.
• A willingness to learn new technologies and grow within the team.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.

Preferred: Exposure to Cisco Meraki, basic Intune/MDM knowledge, iOS device management experience, or certifications such as CompTIA ITF+ or MS-900.
