Systems Management

Hello,

I am currently in QA and I also am our KACE systems manager. We have >4000 endpoints all over the east coast and central US. I'd like to move into a more strictly QA role but to do that we would need to hire someone to manage our KACE appliance and all the endpoints that are connecting to it.

So I've written a sample job description and I was hoping someone here could give me some pointers to make it better (I have never written a job description before):
