  • Partner with InfoSec and SOC teams to strengthen security posture, embedding Zero Trust principles and RBAC.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex infrastructure issues, minimising business impact and improving system reliability.
  • Identify opportunities to innovate and simplify processes, leveraging emerging cloud technologies and services.
  • Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of Cloud Enablement and Governance frameworks.
  • Mentor and support less experienced team members, fostering a culture of learning and collaboration.
