Core Responsibilities: Platform Engineering (80%)

 * Map, streamline, and automate the Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) identity lifecycle workflows.
 * Maintain enterprise directory hygiene (Active Directory/Entra ID) and assist with Single Sign-On (SSO) and MFA integrations.
 * Administer automated email security gateways to protect against phishing and business email compromise.
 * Execute the operational deployment of Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools to systematically eliminate standing local admin rights.

Core Responsibilities: Strategic Architecture (20%)

 * Establish the definitive compliance baseline (encryption, domain-join status, MFA) required for any device to access the corporate network.
 * Build and maintain Conditional Access matrices to enforce zero-trust identity policies globally.
 * Draft standardized Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) templates to simplify department-level onboarding.
