• Manage instant-clone pools, entitlements/AD OU alignment, and profile/GPO/printer management for operational user groups across multiple environments
• Plan and execute Horizon upgrades (Connection Servers, Agents/Clients) via pilot waves with pre/post validation, tested rollback, CAB approvals, and post-implementation reviews (PIRs)
• Sustain stability via capacity/disk hygiene (recurring cleanups, datastore/pool thresholds); remediate disk-full and agent health issues; maintain clear SOPs for routine hygiene
• Monitor and optimize user experience (logon stage timing, session health, broker status); maintain actionable dashboards/alerts (e.g., Splunk) and reduce false positives

Operations & Incident Response

• Participate in on-call rotation and provide rapid incident response for VDI/Windows/vSphere; lead problem management with durable corrective actions
• Maintain and expand SOPs/runbooks (upgrades, clone refresh, disk cleanup, time/date sync, certificate renewal, post-change validation); keep repositories current and accessible
• Partner with the incident response command center for IR/PR handling; provide concise executive-style updates (issue, resolution, next steps)

Active/Immediate Work to Assume

• Horizon license renewal tracking and risk management
• Platform migration request (e.g., LCD migration SR): finalize OS target, confirm dependencies, and validate completion
• Horizon/Windows OS upgrade activities across operational environments; align VM tools/hardware as required
