For over forty years, HarbourVest has been home to a committed team of professionals with an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to deliver impactful solutions to our clients and investing partners. As our global firm grows, we continue to add individuals who seek a collaborative, open-door culture that values diversity and innovative thinking.

In our collegial environment that's marked by low turnover and high energy, you'll be inspired to grow and thrive. Here, you will be encouraged to build on your strengths and acquire new skills and experiences.

We are committed to fostering an environment of inclusion that promotes mutual respect among all employees. Understanding and valuing these differences optimizes the potential of both the individual and the firm.

• Help manage and improve the organization's endpoint environment, including Windows and macOS device provisioning, configuration, upkeep throughout the device lifespan, and platform policies.

• Support application packaging, rollout of software, operating system maintenance, and patch management to maintain a protected and reliable user experience.

• Monitor and improve endpoint health, compliance, and security through proactive management, policy enforcement, and remediation efforts.

• Leverage endpoint management platforms such as Intune and Autopilot to automate device deployment, configuration, and ongoing administration at scale.

• Investigate and resolve sophisticated endpoint issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement long-term solutions that decrease frequent support incidents.

• Develop automation, documentation, and operational standards while collaborating with Service Desk, Infrastructure, and Security teams to continuously improve endpoint services.
  

• Experience supporting endpoint management, application packaging, software deployment, operating system management, and patching in an enterprise environment.

• Familiarity with modern enterprise endpoint management and deployment tools such as Microsoft Intune, Autopilot, Patch My PC, SCCM, Jamf, or similar platforms.

• Ability to use PowerShell or scripting to streamline endpoint management, deployments, device compliance, minimize manual tasks, and generate reports
