This is a high-trust individual contributor role - you will be the go-to person for IT across the region, operating independently without a team beneath you, and with significant influence over how we secure and scale our infrastructure. You will combine deep IAM expertise with hands-on EU IT support ownership - managing our Microsoft environment, Atlassian stack, and AI tooling including Claude. The right person is someone who can diagnose a complex Entra ID configuration issue in the morning, ship a laptop to a new hire in the afternoon, and drive a process improvement initiative by end of week - without needing direction., Identity & Access Management * Own the full IAM program: SSO, MFA, conditional access, privileged access management (PAM), and identity lifecycle (joiner/mover/leaver) across SaaS and internal applications. * Architect and maintain integrations using SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SCIM; administer Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) as the central identity provider. * Design and enforce RBAC/ABAC access models; lead access reviews and certification campaigns. * Build automation and scripting (PowerShell, Python) to reduce manual identity operations and eliminate orphaned or excessive access. * Define IAM policies and procedures; ensure compliance alignment with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR as applicable. * Monitor identity-related security events, investigate anomalies, and lead access-related incident response. EU IT Operations & Support * Serve as the primary IT point of contact for all EU employees - owning end-to-end support escalation, resolution, and documentation. * Administer the Microsoft 365 full suite: Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, Defender, and Purview. * Manage the Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence) at an admin level - configuration, user management, integrations, and workflow optimization. * Drive adoption and governance of AI productivity tooling including Claude; support employees in using AI tools effectively and securely. * Own hardware lifecycle: procurement, imaging, configuration, shipping, asset tracking, and secure decommissioning. * Lead IT onboarding and offboarding - new hires receive working equipment and correct access on day one; departing employees are fully offboarded promptly. * Maintain MDM/endpoint management (Intune or Jamf) and device patching across the EU fleet. * Build and maintain a self-service knowledge base; track support metrics and drive systemic fixes over one-off resolutions. ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Checkmate: 5 Real Incidents That Can End a Software Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100126-checkmate-5-real-incidents-that-can-end-a-software-company) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Develop enterprise-ready applications for Microsoft Teams with Azure resources on modern web technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/187-develop-enterprise-ready-applications-for-microsoft-teams-with-azure-resources-on-modern-web-technologies) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [Spanish Business Culture and Etiquette](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/353-spanish-business-culture-and-etiquette) - [IT Salaries in UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/288-it-salaries-in-uk) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer)
