What this job asks for AI summary
A fully remote, senior-level IT operations role at a cloud-native financial services company where the hire owns the entire Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 environment end-to-end — identity, endpoint management, security tooling, voice/communications, backup, and ITSM. The role also carries direct responsibility for leading and mentoring a help desk team, reporting to the CTO. It suits a generalist cloud-operations practitioner with genuine hands-on depth across the Microsoft stack, not a narrow cloud architect or an on-premises specialist.

Why we read it this way (7)
The alt SOC 11-3021 (Computer and Information Systems Managers) is a genuine runner-up: the role includes direct reports, mentoring, and team leadership, but the posting frames it as a hands-on senior IC who also leads a small help desk — operational depth is the primary gate, not people management.
The posting requires 4 years specifically in a Microsoft cloud-first environment (Entra ID, Azure, M365) and 2 years leading or managing others, nested within a 7-year overall IT operations requirement; the 4-year cloud figure is reflected on the primary Microsoft cloud skills.
Endpoint management is described broadly across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android with zero-touch provisioning; 'Intune' is not named explicitly but is the canonical Microsoft MDM/endpoint management tool implied by the Microsoft-cloud-first stack and the specific capabilities described — listed as required.
The posting explicitly states no degree requirement; equivalent demonstrated depth is accepted in place of exact tenure.
VoIP/unified communications and zero-trust/VPN are listed as a paired requirement ('and') — both are hard gates; they are emitted as separate skills.
Azure SQL, serverless functions, and scheduled workloads appear in an operational-support context ('keep the platform healthy'), not as a development requirement; listed as preferred.
LLM/AI tooling governance is called out as an ownership area but framed around policy and controls rather than deep technical skill; listed as preferred.
