• Works with technical project teams to support infrastructure deliverables and solutions.
• Makes adjustments or recommends enhancements in technical systems and processes to improve effectiveness of area of responsibility.

Specific Job Function

• Endpoint Vulnerability Management (Enterprise Scale)
• Operate and mature the endpoint vulnerability lifecycle: discovery - prioritization - remediation - validation - reporting.
• Perform vulnerability identification and prioritization using Qualys and or other security agents, including (but not limited to) Microsoft Security Updates and major 3rd-party applications (e.g., Chrome, Edge, legacy dependencies where applicable).
• Drive risk-based remediation workflows aligned to business impact, exploitability, and fleet exposure.
• Validate remediation efficacy and ensure vulnerability closure is auditable and reproducible.
• Secure Baseline Configuration (SBC) & Compliance (Windows 11 + VDI)
• Own Secure Baseline Configuration compliance outcomes for Windows 11 across physical devices and VDI.
• Detect and correct compliance drift; build governance routines to prevent recurring deviation.
• Translate policy intent into enforceable configuration standards and operational guardrails.
• Problem Management (Root Cause + Corrective Actions)
• Lead or co-lead root cause analysis for recurring endpoint issues and systemic remediation failures.
• Develop long-term corrective actions, workarounds, and knowledge artifacts that reduce repeat incidents.
• Align problem practices to Digital Workplace Problem Management goals, templates/artifacts, tooling/automation, and metrics.
• Configuration Management & Deployment Enablement (SCCM / MECM)
• Leverage Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (SCCM/MECM) to support remediation delivery at scale (packages, deployments, compliance baselines, reporting).
• Troubleshoot deployment failures and endpoint state issues impacting remediation timelines.
• Partner with endpoint engineering and operations teams to harden delivery pipelines and reduce rework.
• Automation & Engineering Enablement (PowerShell + Workflows)
• Create and maintain PowerShell automation to reduce manual effort, accelerate remediation, and improve consistency.
• Build automation patterns for detection, enforcement, validation, and reporting (including safe failure handling and rollback considerations).
• Integrate automation into operational workflows (e.g., Service Management processes) to increase throughput and reduce friction.
• Data, Reporting, and Decision Support (Databases)
• Use SQL and relational database concepts to support remediation tracking, compliance analytics, trend analysis, and operational reporting.
• Define data-quality expectations (integrity, lineage, reproducibility) and produce metrics that support governance and executive visibility.
• Translate raw findings into actionable insights for stakeholders.
