- Owns Microsoft Intune administration across Windows and macOS, including device enrollment, configuration and compliance policies, application deployment, patch rings, and update management.
- Performs zero-touch provisioning through Windows Autopilot and Apple Business Manager so that endpoints ship directly to remote employees and are production-ready at first login.
- Maintains standardized, reproducible device builds and reduces configuration drift across the fleet.
- Coordinates endpoint hardware logistics with vendors and depot partners, including procurement, drop-shipping, RMAs, and the secure return or disposal of devices from departing employees.
- Administers Entra ID, including users, groups, roles, licensing, SSO integrations, and application registrations.
- Designs, tests, deploys, and tunes Conditional Access and multi-factor authentication policies.
- Executes identity lifecycle management, including automated onboarding, role changes, and same-day access revocation at offboarding.
- Enforces least-privilege and role-based access across Microsoft 365 and integrated SaaS applications, and conducts periodic access reviews and user access recertification.
- Configures and maintains endpoint controls supporting HIPAA Security Rule safeguards, including access control, automatic logoff, audit logging, and encryption.
- Enforces full-disk encryption on all endpoints (BitLocker and FileVault) and manages key escrow and recovery.
- Maintains data loss prevention and device compliance policies that keep Protected Health Information (PHI) on managed, compliant devices.
- Executes remote lock and wipe for lost, stolen, or compromised devices, and supports incident response and breach investigation with device and access log evidence.
- Applies and maintains endpoint security baselines, and tracks and remediates vulnerability findings across the fleet.
- Maintains documentation and produces evidence for HIPAA audits, risk assessments, SOC 2 reviews, and customer security questionnaires.
- Ensures the rigorous application of Information Security/Information Assurance policies, principles, and practices in the delivery of systems, applications, and services.
- Serves as the escalation point for advanced desktop support across Windows and macOS, including operating system, application, authentication, VPN, network connectivity, printing, and hardware issues, all diagnosed remotely.
- Manages the support ticket queue against defined service level agreements and communicates clearly with non-technical staff, primarily in writing.
- Develops and maintains standard operating procedures, runbooks, internal documentation, and end-user knowledge base articles.
- Reads and writes PowerShell scripts to automate repetitive administrative work. Python is nice to have but not required.
- Tracks hardware, software, and license inventory across the full asset lifecycle.
- Interfaces with internal and external Network Engineers, Security, and Application teams to optimize systems use and configuration.
- Provides technical knowledge and recommendations to staff members as required.
