  • Develop secure configurations for identity, endpoint, and cloud environments

Senior-Level Escalation & Leadership

  • Serve as the highest-tier escalation for cloud, security, and infrastructure issues

  • Participate in client strategy, technical roadmapping, and project scoping
  • Help refine and enhance internal processes, automation, and service delivery

Advanced Infrastructure Support

  • Strong PowerShell skills a plus
  • Knowledge of security frameworks (CIS, NIST, Zero Trust)
