• Escalate gaps in execution and hold partners accountable to expected performance
• Translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements and ensure delivery
• Own visibility into overall system health including endpoints, network, and cloud environments
• Monitor uptime, performance, and risk areas and drive corrective actions to closure
• Maintain clear tracking of open issues, remediation progress, and system stability
• Ensure the environment is operating reliably, not just functioning
• Own execution and enforcement of core security controls including endpoint detection and response, patching, backup integrity, and access control discipline
• Partner with external cybersecurity providers to ensure controls are not only implemented but effective
• Maintain visibility into security posture and drive remediation of identified gaps
• Support CMMC readiness and ongoing compliance requirements through disciplined execution
• Design and implement automation to reduce manual effort and improve consistency
• Leverage tools such as Microsoft 365, scripting, and AI platforms to streamline workflows

• Strong working knowledge of:
• Windows environments and endpoint management

• Microsoft 365 and Azure environments
• Experience working with or alongside managed service providers
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership and drive issues to resolution
• Strong problem solving skills and ability to operate independently
• Clear communication skills across technical and non technical teams
• Preferred
• Experience in manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or regulated environments

What Sets You Apart

• Takes ownership of systems and outcomes, not just tasks
• Holds themselves and others accountable to execution and results
• Proactively identifies gaps and drives resolution without waiting for direction
