  • Provide technical leadership for EUC-related initiatives across RS Group.
  • Ensure the stability, security, and performance of EUC environments in BAU operations.
  • Support IT projects requiring EUC expertise, including application rollouts and infrastructure upgrades.
  • Troubleshoot complex EUC issues and provide guidance to IT support teams.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

  • Work closely with IT teams, business stakeholders, and third-party vendors.
  • Engage with RS Group’s EUC, infrastructure, and security teams to drive best practices.
  • Act as a trusted advisor on EUC matters, ensuring alignment with business goals.
  • Communicate technical concepts effectively to non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Proven experience as an EUC Architect or Senior EUC Engineer in a large enterprise.
  • Strong expertise in Microsoft 365, Intune, Windows 10/11, and Azure Virtual Desktop.
  • Knowledge of Active Directory, Group Policy, and identity & access management (IAM).
  • Experience in cloud-based EUC solutions and modern device management.
  • Understanding of cybersecurity best practices in an EUC environment.
  • Experience in IT integration projects, preferably in mergers & acquisitions.
  • Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions.
