Position Overview
Jones Capital is seeking a Microsoft 365-native IT professional to serve as our IT Customer Support Specialist 2. We run an entirely cloud-native environment built on Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Azure, and we need someone who lives in that stack daily.
The right candidate will carry hands-on depth across the M365 ecosystem: tenant administration, identity governance, endpoint management, compliance tooling, and cross-platform integration. Relevant Microsoft certifications are strongly preferred and will be weighted heavily in the selection process. Candidates without certifications must demonstrate equivalent breadth through verifiable, hands-on experience.
Microsoft Certifications - Strongly Preferred
One or more of the following certifications are considered near-requirements. Candidates holding these will receive priority consideration:
• MS-102
• MD-102
• AZ-104
• SC-300
• MS-700
• AZ-305
• SC-100

Candidates without certifications must demonstrate 5+ years of hands-on M365 tenant administration, Entra ID/Azure AD management, and Intune endpoint management at a comparable depth.

• Manage MFA, SSPR, and Password less/Windows Hello for Business deployments
• Administer app registrations and enterprise applications; configure SSO (SAML/OIDC) for SaaS integrations
• Monitor Entra ID sign-in and audit logs; investigate anomalies and respond to Identity Protection alerts
Endpoint Management (Intune / MEM)

• Deploy and maintain Win32 and MSIX application packages via Intune; troubleshoot deployment failures

• Conduct hardware/software inventory and remediate non-compliant devices
Advanced Technical Support

• Support multi-tenant MSP environment: maintain context separation, tenant-specific configurations, and cross-org policy consistency
• Contribute to and maintain internal knowledge base with resolution patterns and runbooks
Automation & Integration
• Support Microsoft 365 integration projects including third-party SSO migrations, eDiscovery workflows, and bulk provisioning
• Assist with Power Automate flows and integration touchpoints affecting M365 services
Qualifications
Required
• 3–7 years of experience in IT support with a demonstrated focus on Microsoft 365 administration
• Hands-on experience managing Entra ID / Azure AD at a tenant admin level — not just end-user operations
• Proven Intune endpoint management experience across enrollment, policy configuration, and app deployment
• Experience administering Exchange Online beyond basic mailbox management (transport rules, connectors, Defender policies)
• Familiarity with Microsoft Purview compliance tooling: eDiscovery, retention, DLP
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to document complex procedures clearly

• Experience with automation tooling: PowerShell scripting, n8n, Power Automate, or Graph API
• Associate’s degree or bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or related field
Key Competencies
• Systems thinker: you connect the dots across identity, device, application, and data layers
• Ownership mentality: you close the loop on issues rather than passing them along
• Detail-oriented: configurations matter, you verify before you ship
• Collaborative: you communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and with senior engineers
• Adaptable: our environment evolves; you stay current on M365 roadmap and apply updates proactively
