Handle end-to-end Microsoft 365 (Office 365) setups, including creating user accounts, configuring mailboxes, assigning licenses, and setting up distribution groups/shared mailboxes.
Manage user permissions and access control via Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) and/or local Active Directory.
Configure and troubleshoot M365 applications (Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook) for end-users.
Assist with basic network troubleshooting (VPN connectivity, Wi-Fi, home internet configurations for remote workers).


Qualifications & Skills
Required Experience:
2+ years of experience in an IT Helpdesk, Technical Support, or Junior SysAdmin role.
Strong M365 Experience: Proven track record of configuring Office 365 accounts, provisioning mailboxes, and managing basic tenant settings.
Proficient with Active Directory / Microsoft Entra ID user administration.
Strong troubleshooting skills across Windows 10/11 and macOS environments.
Experience utilizing MDM tools (e.g., Intune, Jamf) for device deployment is a major plus.
Location & Contract Requirements:
Must be physically located within a 30-minute radius of Boston, MA.
Must have a reliable home internet connection and a dedicated quiet workspace.
