•  Implement Microsoft email and endpoint security configurations across the organisation.
• Deliver platform services aligned with agreed SLAs and internal ITSM processes.
• Build technology roadmaps to drive the maturity of endpoint security capabilities.
• Create and maintain Disaster Recovery plans and lead testing efforts.
• Maintain clear documentation for system architectures, assets, and procedures.
• Provide training and guidance on secure endpoint practices across the organisation.
• Work cross-functionally to deliver secure, reliable, and compliant endpoint solutions.
• Support incident response activities and maintain incident readiness tools.
• Participate in post-incident reviews and continuously improve endpoint security posture.
• Participate in an on-call rotation as part of the team roster.

About you: 

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Software Engineering, Networking, or related field (mandatory).
• Industry certifications (e.g., CASP+, GSEC, Microsoft Azure Administrator, Microsoft 365 Endpoint Admin) are highly regarded.
• 7+ years of experience designing and managing enterprise-level endpoint security.
