Domain Experience:

Manufacturing/Lifescience

Key Skills:

 * Demonstrated ability to own end-to-end troubleshooting for IT/OT issues impacting lab and manufacturing operations, using a structured approach to isolate root cause and drive permanent fixes.
 * Strong capability to operate within a shared-services and limited-privilege model by collecting evidence locally, escalating effectively to the correct resolver group, and following through to closure.
 * Working knowledge of regulated (GxP/GMP) expectations as they apply to IT/OT support, including documentation discipline, audit readiness, and risk-based decision making.
 * Experience supporting or coordinating backup, retention, storage/capacity, and recovery readiness for lab and OT workloads; comfortable verifying logs, test restores, and addressing gaps proactively.
 * Ability to define technical requirements for lab and OT connectivity (ports/protocols, access needs, performance expectations) and coordinate implementation across global/shared service teams (e.g., Networking, Cybersecurity, IAM, Server/Windows, VMware/Virtualization, Storage/Backup, End User Computing) and vendors.
 * Working knowledge of Windows administration fundamentals and enterprise identity concepts (e.g., Active Directory groups/access patterns) and the ability to troubleshoot authentication and authorization issues.
 * Experience with virtualization platforms and concepts (e.g., VMware), including diagnosing issues spanning host, VM, network, storage, and application layers.
 * Practical understanding of network fundamentals (switching/routing concepts, VLANs, DNS/DHCP, firewall rule intent) sufficient to troubleshoot connectivity issues and request correct changes from network/security teams.
 * Familiarity with lab and manufacturing system environments (e.g., LIMS/CDS/instrument connectivity, SCADA/HMI/historian ecosystems) and the ability to work with vendors and SMEs to restore service quickly.
 * Strong documentation skills, including producing clear incident notes, RCA summaries, connectivity requirements, and maintaining asset/CMDB accuracy.
 * Effective planning and prioritization skills across concurrent incidents and project work, including stakeholder communication, expectation-setting, and escalation based on business risk.
 * Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to translate technical issues into business impact and risk language for non-technical stakeholders.
