Junior Cloud Systems Administrator

Insight Global is looking for a motivated junior Cloud Systems Administrator to join our growing team. This role is ideal for someone early in their IT career who wants hands-on experience supporting a cloud-first environment in the Microsoft ecosystem (Azure, Microsoft 365, and endpoint management). In a startup setting, you’ll wear multiple hats - helping with device provisioning, user support, basic cloud administration, security operations, and day-to-day IT processes - while learning from a collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities
• Endpoint management: Assist with configuring and managing Windows devices using Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Intune) and Windows Autopilot.
• User support: Provide friendly, responsive technical support to employees, escalating issues as needed and documenting resolutions.
• Windows device operations: Support patching, troubleshooting, and day-to-day performance of Windows endpoints.
• Procurement, inventory & asset management: Assist with purchasing, receiving, inventory management (tagging, tracking, stock levels), periodic audits, and lifecycle management for laptops, monitors, peripherals, and other IT assets.
• Device setup, shipping & deployment: Prepare, configure, package, and ship new devices (and coordinate returns) according to company standards and security baselines, including tracking shipments and confirming delivery.
• Cloud administration (Azure): Assist with day-to-day administration of Azure resources (access, basic monitoring, and documentation) to help keep the environment secure and reliable.
• Security support: Support basic security operations, including reviewing alerts and helping maintain controls using Microsoft Defender and Microsoft 365 security features.
• Identity & access (Entra ID): Assist with user lifecycle tasks (onboarding/offboarding), group management, role-based access, and MFA/Conditional Access support following established runbooks.
• Microsoft 365 administration: Support day-to-day administration and troubleshooting across Microsoft 365 services (e.g., Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive permissions).
• Onboarding & offboarding: Coordinate account creation/removal, device provisioning/returns, and access changes to support a secure joiner/mover/leaver process.
• Documentation & continuous improvement: Create and maintain IT documentation (SOPs, onboarding guides, asset records), and suggest improvements to reduce recurring issues.
• Ticketing & IT operations: Manage and prioritize incoming requests in the ticketing system, follow SLAs, and ensure work is tracked to completion.
• Automation: Use basic scripting (e.g., PowerShell, PowerAutomate) to automate repetitive tasks and produce simple reports where helpful.
