• Scale with Automation & AI - Leverage modern, built-in AI features to monitor queues, flag anomalies, and optimize automated user-matching logic. Run, maintain, and modify PowerShell or Python scripts to automate repetitive tasks and handle high-volume data cleanups.

• Respond with Agility - Triage, troubleshoot, and resolve daily support requests, authentication incidents, and sync errors escalated by the OIT Service Desk or campus users.

• Support Next-Gen Initiatives - Assist in implementing critical security pipelines, including managing user scopes and permission boundaries within our Privileged Access Management (PAM) infrastructure.
