• Support endpoint security, information protection and vulnerability remediation and investigate cross-platform issues.
• Coordinate technical escalations with SME engineering teams, vendors and service owners, ensuring users receive timely updates and issues progress to permanent resolution.
• Improve supportability by maintaining technical knowledge, documenting fixes, automating repeatable tasks and identifying recurring issues for problem and knowledge management.

What we’re looking for:

• Strong experience providing senior or escalated infrastructure support to end users across distributed or secure operational environments.
