• Coordinate with endpoint support vendors to monitor service performance and implement agreed improvements to enhance user experience and operational consistency.

• Maintain accurate documentation for architecture, configurations, SOPs and standards, support audit exercises and remediation tracking for infrastructure findings.
• Partner with the Assistant Director (Cybersecurity) on security requirements (e.g., hardening baselines, vulnerability remediation, identity governance) while maintaining Infrastructure ownership of operational execution.

• Assist in Infrastructure design discussions and vendor proposals to ensure solutions are scalable, secure and maintainable.
• Support medium‑term planning for modernisation, refresh and resilience uplift, aligned to organisational needs and cloud‑first direction.
