• Configure and enforce M365 security posture: Conditional Access policies, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Entra ID Governance, and Defender for Cloud / Office 365.
• Oversee M365 tenant governance, license optimization, Microsoft Intune endpoint management, and AutoPilot deployment profiles.
• Drive automation across administrative workflows using PowerShell, Azure CLI, or Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / Bicep).
• 3. General IT & Infrastructure Operations
• Function as an escalation point (Tier 2/3) for complex enterprise issues across network, cloud services, active directory, and application stacks.
• Maintain hybrid Active Directory environments, Group Policy Objects (GPO), and foundational networking protocols (DNS, DHCP, VPN).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate SaaS platforms, line-of-business applications, and security tools.
• Maintain accurate infrastructure documentation, architectural diagrams, and continuous M&A operational playbooks.
