Deep, hands-on Intune experience is the requirement that matters most. Not "I've used Intune," but "I can design an Intune and Autopilot rollout from scratch": configuration profiles, compliance policies, app deployment, Conditional Access.
You'll also need strong Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint, Entra ID, mail flow, recovery), solid networking (Meraki, Fortigate, site-to-site VPN, VLAN design), and real security incident-response experience. We run a Mac fleet, so Jamf or Apple MDM experience is a plus, not a requirement.
Perfectly fluent English is a must, written and spoken. You'll deal directly with executive clients who hold extremely high expectations, so your communication has to hold up under that, clear and confident on a call and on the page. You'll also hand off cleanly to the team.
You work independently. You isolate a problem before you start changing things, you know when to escalate versus resolve, and you document as you go.
Five years of MSP experience is a rough floor, but design ability matters more than the number. No degree required.
We rate every hire and every quarter against these. They're not poster words.
Demonstrate honesty and integrity. Set clear expectations so clients always know what's next. If something goes wrong, say so early so we can fix it together. Commit to everything we do. Every ticket, every project, full attention. Step in when a teammate needs help, before being asked. Take ownership. If you see a problem, it's yours until it's resolved or properly handed off. Own the client's experience from first response to final follow-up. Do the right thing. Recommend what actually solves the client's problem, not what's easiest. Speak up when you spot a risk. Sweat the small stuff. Document so the next person can pick up where you left off. Double-check before you close.
