Proficiency in Microsoft 365 technologies (e.g., Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Intune).
Solid understanding of ITIL v4 principles and service lifecycle.
Familiarity with monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, SCOM).
Experience coordinating UAT and functional testing.

Process & Delivery

Proven track record in service transition planning and execution.
Experience designing and implementing support models.
Strong knowledge of change, release, and incident management.
Skilled in process mapping and documentation.

Soft Skills

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving ability.
Comfortable working in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and user experience.
