This role owns the "human" element of our security posture. Designed as a launchpad from End-User Services into advanced security engineering, you will automate the identity lifecycle, protect user communications, and enforce endpoint compliance. You will spend 80% of your time managing access operations and 20% designing zero-trust device posture frameworks, acting as the critical bridge between the Security team and the Helpdesk.

Requirements

• 1–3 years in IT Support, Systems Administration, or End-User Services with a strong understanding of user pain points.
• Deep practical knowledge of Active Directory, user object lifecycles, and basic Windows/Mac endpoint troubleshooting.
• Demonstrated ability to document complex IT processes and a strong drive to learn modern SSO administration and automation scripting.

Responsibilities

• Map, streamline, and automate the Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) identity lifecycle workflows.
• Maintain enterprise directory hygiene (Active Directory/Entra ID) and assist with Single Sign-On (SSO) and MFA integrations.
• Administer automated email security gateways to protect against phishing and business email compromise.
• Execute the operational deployment of Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools to systematically eliminate standing local admin rights.
• Establish the definitive compliance baseline (encryption, domain-join status, MFA) required for any device to access the corporate network.
• Build and maintain Conditional Access matrices to enforce zero-trust identity policies globally.
• Draft standardized Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) templates to simplify department-level onboarding.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
