Endpoint Security & Compliance

Collaboration & Technical Leadership

• Act as a technical escalation point for service desk and desktop teams
• Engage directly with client stakeholders to understand requirements and communicate outcomes
• Collaborate with project managers, cyber teams, and engineers
• Support and mentor junior engineers

• Experience designing and deploying Windows 11 SOEs
• Experience migrating endpoints from SCCM/ConfigMgr to Intune
• Hands‑on experience with Airlock Digital or similar application control tooling
• Solid understanding of ASD Essential Eight (especially application control & patching)
• Familiarity with ISM, PSPF, and ASD Cloud Blueprint standards
