Senior Administrator (Level 3) responsible for the design, deployment, and advanced support of endpoint management solutions across a large, distributed physical and virtual device estate using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) and Microsoft Intune in a co-managed environment. Owns application packaging, third-party patch management, security vulnerability remediation, advanced PowerShell automation, and at-scale incident troubleshooting, partnering closely with Information Security, Networking, and Support teams to keep the endpoint fleet secure, compliant, and reliable.

Responsibilities

• Package, test, and deploy Windows and third-party applications through MECM and Intune (Win32 apps), using PSADT and other silent-install packages with reliable detection logic and dependency handling.
• MECM/Intune co-management experience: client settings, boundaries and boundary groups, deployment collections, Autopilot profiles, compliance policies, and configuration baselines across the enterprise endpoint estate.
• Design, write, and maintain advanced PowerShell scripts for automation, remediation, and reporting, including Intune and MECM.
• Identify, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities across the endpoint fleet in partnership with Information Security – driving CVE/patch-compliance reporting and mitigation timelines for OS and third-party applications.
• Third-party application patching lifecycle – identifying, packaging, testing, and deploying updates (e.g., via Patch My PC, MECM, application/patch deployment) to minimize vulnerability exposure windows.
• Networking knowledge (DNS, DHCP, IP addressing/subnetting, VLANs, boundary/content distribution) to resolve connectivity issues affecting client communication, application delivery, and patch distribution.
• Leverage AI-assisted tools (Claude, Copilot and other scripting assistants) and automation/orchestration to streamline packaging, remediation, and reporting – tracking work in JIRA and version-controlling scripts/configs in GitHub.
• Partner and collaborate with multiple technical teams (Architecture, Networking, Information Security, Support, etc.) to develop and support endpoint solutions.
• Triage and resolve escalations from Endpoint Support and Security, acting as a technical escalation point for Level 1/2 teams.

Demonstrated experience remediating security vulnerabilities – identifying, prioritizing, and patching OS and third-party application vulnerabilities, including CVE triage and patch-compliance reporting (Microsoft Defender/vulnerability management tooling). Advanced PowerShell scripting ability (functions, modules, error handling, remoting, Graph API/Intune scripting), plus familiarity with VBScript for legacy support. Proven ability to troubleshoot complex incidents at scale across large, distributed endpoint environments, with strong root-cause analysis skills. Strong application packaging experience (.MSI/.MST, Win32; App-V/MSIX familiarity a plus) using, PSAppDeployToolkit, Advanced Installer, and Orca. Experience managing third-party application patching programs (e.g., Patch My PC, Ivanti, or similar). Solid understanding of Active Directory and Group Policy for managing user/computer objects, including GPO troubleshooting (gpresult, RSoP). Working knowledge of wired/wireless networking fundamentals: DHCP, DNS,
