Cloud & Endpoint Operations
  • Deliver Level 2/3 support across Azure, Microsoft 365, Intune and identity platforms.
  • Manage cloud‑based Windows endpoints using Intune, including packaging applications, configuring policies, and troubleshooting advanced endpoint issues.
  • Optimise cloud services and contribute to the secure rollout of Microsoft technologies across the organisation.
Identity, Access & Security
  • Administer and enhance identity services using Active Directory and Entra ID.
  • Build and refine Conditional Access policies, identity governance workflows, and access lifecycle processes.
  • Work with enterprise security tools such as Microsoft Defender, Tenable, Splunk, Airlock and other cloud‑integrated monitoring platforms.
Technical Delivery & Documentation
  • Maintain detailed documentation across cloud services, identity platforms, endpoint configurations, and integration workflows.
  • Support governance initiatives including RBAC models, compliance frameworks, policy development, and lifecycle management.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to resolve complex cloud issues and support ongoing improvement initiatives.
What You Bring We’re looking for someone with strong technical depth and a passion for modern cloud engineering. You’ll ideally have:
  • Hands‑on experience with Azure, Microsoft 365, Intune and cloud‑managed Windows environments.
  • Strong PowerShell scripting capability for automation, remediation and administration tasks.
  • Solid understanding of cloud networking, secure connectivity, endpoint security controls and identity‑based access patterns.
  • Experience with Azure Enterprise Applications, App Registrations, certificate/secret management and Azure Virtual Desktop.
  • Familiarity with ServiceNow for incident, problem and change processes.
  • Knowledge of DevOps‑aligned practices including release and change workflows.
  • Demonstrated capability in RBAC, identity governance and cloud compliance activities.
Who You Are The ideal candidate will demonstrate:
  • A proactive, self‑driven approach with the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to design and communicate effective technical solutions.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to work confidently across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Experience mentoring others and contributing to a positive, knowledge‑sharing culture.
