• Improve system reliability and user experience by identifying recurring issues and implementing preventative solutions.

• Enhance documentation, standard operating procedures, and internal knowledge resources.

• Partner effectively with business teams to understand needs and translate them into scalable, secure technical solutions..

• Fully own the health, reliability, and usability of Naviant’s internal IT systems, partnering with IT leadership and external providers, as appropriate, to ensure scalability, security, and operational resilience.

• Independently manage the full lifecycle of physical IT assets while maintaining accurate inventory and asset records to ensure equipment status and location are tracked consistently across systems.

• Serve as a trusted internal advisor, balancing user needs, security, scalability, and operational efficiency.

• Proactively identify opportunities to simplify workflows, improve automation, and reduce manual effort across systems.

• Maintain strong system hygiene, access controls, and data integrity, supporting auditability and organizational trust.
