Proficiency in PowerShell scripting for automation and configuration management.
Familiarity with Quest Change Auditor, Quest Recovery Manager, or similar security auditing and recovery tools.
Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, or SOC 2.
Excellent troubleshooting, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
Strong communication, documentation, and interpersonal skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, managed services environment.
As an Identity & Directory Services Operations Specialist, you will:
Provide Level 2 & Level 3 Operations Support:
Monitor, audit, troubleshoot, and resolve incidents and problems across all directory and identity services.
Act as a subject matter expert and provide support and consultation to other IT services and projects.
Implement business and security settings according to defined processes and requests.

Experience with other identity and access management (IAM) solutions.
Knowledge of DevOps principles and practices.
Experience with cloud security tools and technologies
