• Maintain accurate and detailed investigation documentation.
• Lead and coordinate incident response efforts, documenting timelines, analysis, and remediation.
• Manage device onboarding/offboarding and enforce endpoint security baselines using Intune and other tools.
• Own identity lifecycle management within Microsoft Entra and enforce access controls.
• Enhance security operations through scripting, automation, and AI‑driven workflows.
• Ensure documentation compliance with SOC 2 and HIPAA regulations and align practices with risk management expectations.
• Assist with security‑aligned technical support and serve as an escalation point for technical issues.

• 3‑6 years of experience in security operations, systems administration, or endpoint security.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Intune, Defender XDR, Sentinel, and Entra.
• Experience in regulated environments like SOC 2 and HIPAA.
• Thorough understanding of identity governance and least privilege principles.
• Expertise in Power Shell and automation within Microsoft Sentinel.
