You’re an experienced, security-focused systems administrator who combines advanced technical judgement with a practical, customer-first mindset. A methodical problem solver, you’re comfortable navigating complex enterprise environments, influencing stakeholders, and taking ownership of critical issues. You communicate clearly, pay close attention to detail, and enjoy mentoring others, sharing knowledge, and finding smarter ways to improve technology, controls, and ways of working.

• Strong knowledge of identity and access management, privileged access management, access governance, and security control design.
• Hands-on experience with relevant enterprise technologies, which may include SailPoint or Saviynt, Okta, Azure AD, Delinea or Secret Server, CrowdStrike, ThreatLocker, Netskope, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365.
• Expertise working in large public Cloud Environments (AWS or Azure).
• Advanced scripting, automation, API, and data-query capability, including experience with PowerShell and workflow automation platforms.

We work hard and play hard, so along with a competitive salary and generous performance-based bonus for permanent staff members, here’s some of our other perks:

• 25 days annual leave (that’s right, an additional week’s leave!).
• Hybrid working policy (Monday and Friday from home) and a $1,050 home office allowance for new starters.
