- Support user account management, password resets, and access provisioning through Active Directory / Entra ID.
- Ensure incidents and requests are logged, prioritised, and resolved within agreed service levels (SLAs).
- Collaborate with other internal teams to support continuous service improvement and maintain high standards of security and compliance.
- Participate in shift-based or on-call rotations where required to provide 24/7 operational coverage.
