Messaging Resiliency & Continuity
  • Backup & Recovery: Support backup, recovery, and continuity strategies for messaging systems in alignment with enterprise DR standards.
  • Business Continuity: Partner with infrastructure teams to ensure messaging services meet RTO/RPO requirements.

Documentation & Collaboration
  • Operational Documentation: Maintain architecture diagrams, configuration documentation, runbooks, and support procedures.
  • Cross-Team Partnerships: Collaborate closely with Security, Infrastructure, Microsoft 365, and Help Desk teams to ensure cohesive service delivery.
