Post background
To apply for this role, we will require you to provide a “Statement of suitability against the technical and experience” required to do the job (no more than 1250 words) and a 2-page CV
The Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Support Analyst to play a pivotal role in its IT Operations and Cyber Security Team. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the protection and enhancement of the UK’s natural environment through innovative technology solutions. Based in either Peterborough or Aberdeen with flexible working options, the successful candidate will provide expert second and third-line support, manage critical infrastructure, and collaborate across departments to ensure secure, efficient, and future-ready IT services. If you're passionate about technology, cyber security, and making a real-world impact, we want to hear from you.
The ideal candidate will possess a robust technical foundation and a proactive approach to IT support and cyber security. Essential qualifications include advanced expertise in identity management using Azure Active Directory, implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication, and configuration of conditional access policies. Strong skills in endpoint management are required, particularly with Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Intune for mobile and device compliance. As part of your M365 experience you will have a good working knowledge of Copilot and the functionality it can undertake to improve workflow for staff members. Candidates should also demonstrate proficiency in configuring and managing Windows Defender, applying security best practices, and responding to threats. A solid understanding of Microsoft Azure fundamentals—including IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and virtual machine deployment—is key, along with experience in managing Office 365 environments, VPNs, and network infrastructure. Desirable skills include the ability to create intelligent forms using Microsoft Power Automate.

• Collaborate with the Cyber Security Officer for system patching and manage JNCC's Microsoft 365 and Azure environments.
• Administer the Endpoint Manager mobile device management system and provide technical support for corporate Apple phones.
• Respond to helpdesk tickets, resolve technical issues, document solutions, and share knowledge with colleagues.
• Engage in continuous learning, research projects, and business partnering to meet JNCC's technical infrastructure needs.
• Collaborate with various departments to ensure IT Operations deployments align with organisational needs and objectives.
• Contribute to incident management, service quality improvement, and process documentation.
• Support the development and delivery of user guidance and training materials.
• Participate in regular team meetings, knowledge sharing, and skills development initiatives.
• Design, build, and manage SharePoint websites and document repositories to support collaboration, compliance, and secure information management across the organisation.
• Champion the use of Copilot, including prompt engineering, agent creation, and workflow automation to drive efficiency and innovation within the IT Operations team and wider business.
Technical Skills
To be successful in this role, you will have:
• Advanced identity management skills in both on-premises Windows networks and M365 cloud environments, including Entra-ID, Multi-Factor Authentication, and conditional/compliance policies.
• Strong endpoint management experience, particularly with Microsoft Intune for managing and securing Windows and Apple devices.
• Working knowledge of configuring, managing and monitoring Defender for endpoints on windows-based devices
• In-depth knowledge of administrating and managing a Windows 2016/19 domain
• Proficiency in Microsoft Azure (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, virtual machine deployment, resource groups) and Office 365 environment management.
• Expertise in designing, building, and managing SharePoint Online sites hosted in the M365 environment, document libraries, and permissions structures, including integration with Teams and other M365 services.
