What This Role Isn't
This isn't helpdesk or basic user support
You won't be fixing password resets or installing printer drivers
We don't micromanage—you'll need to self-direct and problem-solve
Not a "follow the script" role—you'll need to think critically
Not a pure remote role—occasional client site work is required
