About The Position

Korn Ferry is partnering with a high-growth private equity firm to identify a Senior Manager, Microsoft Platforms, for the parent company. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who has evolved from a systems and infrastructure background into owning the engineering and strategic direction of the Microsoft ecosystem. The company is scaling rapidly and seeks a solution-oriented leader who thrives in dynamic environments and can bridge technical execution with business alignment.

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of senior engineers, driving accountability and delivery across Microsoft platform initiatives.
• Provide strategic guidance and ensure alignment with best practices and architectural guardrails.
• Act as a facilitator rather than a taskmaster—empowering the team while maintaining technical integrity.
• Own and execute core platform operations including PIM and SSO access provisioning via Terraform.
• Manage Microsoft licensing and service management.
• Oversee Active Directory and PowerShell scripting.
• Administer IAM using Entra Domain and physical service management.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders to translate operational needs into secure, scalable solutions.
• Partner with the Platform Engineering team to integrate Azure services into the broader Microsoft stack.
• Support the Security team in implementing governance policies and compliance controls.
• Enable Workplace Technology initiatives such as BYOD enablement and hardware lifecycle management.
