  • Troubleshooting integration issues and providing hands-on support during transition phases

 

Skills & Experience

  • Deep hands-on experience with Google Workspace administration, including directory, mail routing, and security settings
  • Knowledge of Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online, including hybrid configurations and migration tooling
  • Experience with SSO platforms and identity federation (SAML, OIDC) and directory synchronization (Azure AD Connect, Google Cloud Directory Sync, or similar)
  • Familiarity with MDM platforms and device management across Mac and Windows environments
  • Good experience scripting in Python, PowerShell, or similar for automation and bulk operations
  • Track record of delivering IT integrations during M&A or organizational transitions
  • Ability to produce clear technical documentation for both technical and leadership audiences
  • Comfortable working across organizational boundaries, navigating ambiguity, and balancing enterprise standardization requirements with business unit needs
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to problem-solving

The following are a bonus!

  • Familiarity with Google Workspace CLI tools (GAM/GAMADV-XTD3) and Google Admin SDK, or Microsoft equivalents (Graph API, PowerShell for Microsoft 365)
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC2) and how they apply to system migrations
