JOB SUMMARY

Provide advanced technical support for enterprise iOS/iPadOS devices and services across a 7x24x365 operation.

This role implements and supports standards defined by engineering/InfoSec and does not create new configuration profiles or perform high‑level MDM engineering.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

1) Mobile Device Lifecycle & UEM Administration (Support Focus)

  • Provision, enroll, and configure corporate and COBO/COPE devices using Apple Business Manager Automated Device Enrollment.

  • Support device security (passcodes/biometrics, OS updates, encryption status) and remediate non‑compliance in line with established policies.
  • Execute device kitting, staging, shipping/receiving, and RMA processes with accurate CMDB/asset updates.

2) Carrier Account & Telecom Expense Management (TEM)

  • Own day‑to‑day carrier account administration across supported wireless providers (e.g., line adds/changes/deactivations, number porting, device/SIM swaps, eSIM activations, IMEI/SIM tracking).
  • Monitor and optimize rate plans, pooled data, features, and international roaming; recommend changes to minimize cost while meeting business needs.
  • Perform monthly billing reconciliation (usage anomalies, overages, credits/disputes), cost allocation, and reporting; partner with Finance and Procurement.
  • Coordinate device procurement (corporate buying programs, upgrades, trade‑in/buyback, warranty/insurance) and maintain accurate inventories.
  • Ensure regulatory and emergency services readiness (e.g., E911 records where applicable), fraud prevention (SIM/eSIM security), and loss/theft controls.
  • Maintain carrier portals, account hierarchies, and user permissions; document processes and KPIs (cycle time, cost per line, optimization savings).

3) Security, Compliance & Access (Implementation)

  • Participate in security incident response for mobile threats (phishing, lost/stolen devices); execute remote lock/wipe and evidence preservation.
  • Contribute to audit, risk, and compliance activities (SOX, PCI, privacy) by maintaining accurate records and consistent controls.

4) Service Delivery & End‑User Experience

  • Deliver high‑quality deskside/remote support for executives and front‑line staff; prioritize critical operational roles.
  • Maintain and continuously improve SLA/OLA performance (response, restore, request fulfillment); publish support playbooks and knowledge articles.
  • Provide VIP/mission‑critical support during operations, travel, and events, including on‑call rotation in a 7x24x365 environment.

5) Asset, Inventory & CMDB

  • Track mobile assets end‑to‑end (request → deployment → in‑service → repair → decommission/sanitation) and maintain accurate CMDB and stock levels.
  • Reconcile device inventory with carrier billing and MDM records; remediate orphaned lines/devices.

6) Projects & Continuous Improvement (Execution)

  • Support mobile‑related projects (iOS updates, app rollouts) by executing tasks under guidance, participating in UAT/pilots.
  • Recommend process improvements and self‑service opportunities; update SOPs/KBs to reduce repeat tickets and improve reliability (no custom MDM engineering or scripting expected).
  • Evaluate new devices and accessories; document results and provide feedback into standards.

7) Documentation & Knowledge Management

  • Create and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), runbooks, and end‑user guides with inclusive, plain language.
  • Publish and maintain knowledge base articles for the Service Desk and end users; deliver targeted training where needed.

8) Vendor, Carrier & Stakeholder Management

  • Build strong partnerships with carriers, OEMs, and MDM vendors; manage escalations and service requests to resolution.
  • Collaborate with Security, Networking, Procurement, Finance, HR, and Business Operations to align mobile services with business outcomes.
  • Track and report KPIs (ticket volume, MTTR, compliance rate, device health, cost per line, optimization savings) and drive data‑informed decisions.

9) Mentorship & Team Development

  • Mentor associate and mid‑level analysts on iOS/iPadOS support workflows, MDM usage, and carrier processes; contribute to cross‑training and skill growth.
  • Promote a culture of safety, inclusion, and continuous learning.
