* Hands-on experience managing Microsoft tenants, and troubleshooting hardware issues – fixing minor ones yourself.
* Knowledge of managing business firewalls and security software.
* A degree (or equivalent experienced) in IT or a related field.
We encourage applicants who do not meet every area of essential criteria to apply, your transferrable skills may still make you
