KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Endpoint Detection & Response: Administer and tune EDR/EPP platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, SentinelOne) — manage policies, investigate detections, and support response.
• Privilege & PAM: Operate and maintain privileged access controls using BeyondTrust (Privilege Management / Endpoint Privilege Management), enforcing least-privilege and managing application elevation policies.
• PKI & Certificates: Support PKI operations — certificate issuance, renewal, revocation, and troubleshooting for endpoint authentication, code signing, and encryption use cases.
• Mobile / Intune: Manage mobile and modern device security through Microsoft Intune — compliance policies, configuration profiles, app protection, and conditional access integration.
• Hardening: Build, apply, and validate endpoint hardening baselines (CIS Benchmarks, DISA STIGs, vendor best practices) across Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms.
• Vulnerability & Compliance: Monitor for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, coordinate remediation, and verify patch and configuration compliance.
• Collaboration & Documentation: Document standards, runbooks, and operational procedures; partner with SOC, IT, and infrastructure teams on incidents and escalations.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in endpoint security, security engineering, or a closely related IT security role.
• Working proficiency with at least one major EDR/EPP platform, including policy configuration and detection investigation.
• Practical experience with Beyond Trust privilege management (or a comparable PAM/endpoint privilege solution) and least-privilege enforcement.
• Solid understanding of PKI concepts and operational experience with certificate lifecycle management.
• Experience managing endpoints and mobile devices with Microsoft Intune (compliance, configuration, app protection).
• Demonstrated experience applying endpoint hardening frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks or DISA STIGs.
• Strong knowledge of Windows endpoint internals; familiarity with macOS and mobile (iOS/Android) management.
• Comfortable scripting for automation and reporting (PowerShell preferred; Python a plus).

PREFERRED / NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Conditional Access.
• Familiarity with SIEM/log analysis and integrating endpoint telemetry into detection workflows.
• Exposure to Group Policy, Configuration Manager (SCCM), or other configuration management tooling.
• Relevant certifications: Security+, GCED, GCWN, Microsoft SC-200 / MD-102, CrowdStrike CCFA, or Beyond Trust certifications.
• Understanding of compliance and regulatory frameworks (NIST 800-53, ISO 27001) as they apply to endpoints.
