Mid-Level: $130,000-$150,000 | Architect: $160,000-$190,000
Summary
This role is responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing Microsoft Intune and related Modern Endpoint Management solutions across customer organizations. This person partners with IT leadership, security teams, and end-user computing teams to drive secure, scalable, and automated device management aligned with Zero Trust principles, leading assessments, architecture, deployment, migration, and operational readiness activities.
Deep, hands-on Microsoft Intune subject-matter expertise (SME-level) is a MUST for this role at every level - this is not a generalist endpoint position.
Hiring for this function at two levels. Candidates are leveled based on depth of Intune architecture experience, scope of ownership, and enterprise scale.
