Global MIS Manager

Role: Global MIS Manager

Department: MIS

Reports To: Director of Shared Services

Location: Herndon, Virginia (US) - Hybrid (3 days office, 2 remote). Some travel to the UK will be required. This is NOT a remote position.

MIS sits within Shared Services at Assured Data Protection, managing the day-to-day technology experience for 300+ employees and contractors globally, from laptops and identity to the key applications people rely on every day. We're looking for a hands-on Global MIS Manager to own the MIS service, including service desk queue, combining people leadership with hands-on ownership of Microsoft 365, Entra , and our device management stack, balancing day-to-day operations with security and compliance discipline.

MIS Operations & Service Desk Queue Management

• Own the MIS service desk queue: triage, prioritisation, escalations, stakeholder communications, and continuous improvement.
• Establish a consistent global operating cadence and on-call rotation (coverage, escalation paths, and post-incident follow-up) to support 24/7/365 operations.
• Partner with HR and the Assets team on joiner/mover/leaver processes, onboarding/offboarding, and access readiness.
• Drive documentation and operational reporting (volumes, backlog, root causes); deliver monthly SLT reporting on performance, risks, and improvements.

Endpoint Support, MDM Management

• Own end-user device lifecycle (provisioning, onboarding/offboarding, repairs, refresh, secure decommissioning) for Windows and macOS, including meeting room/conferencing technology (Neat Bar).
• Administer and mature endpoint management via Microsoft Intune and Apple Business Manager: configuration, compliance policies, application deployment, and patching workflows.
• Ensure endpoint security fundamentals are enforced (patching, encryption, secure remote support, least-privilege local admin) and that Sophos MDR operates effectively across managed laptops.

Microsoft 365 & Entra (Identity and Access)

• Administer and continuously improve Microsoft 365 services (Teams, Exchange Online, SharePoint/One Drive) with strong operational discipline.
• Lead administration of Microsoft Entra  (Azure AD): joiner/mover/leaver processes, group and role management, authentication methods, conditional access, and access reviews.
• Manage enterprise application access governance with a strong RBAC and least-privilege mindset, ensuring privileged access is tightly controlled and auditable, and support SSO adoption across business applications.

User Applications & SaaS Application Management

• Run an application intake and review process with Info Sec, Compliance, and Finance so requests are properly assessed on security, cost, and supportability.
• Maintain an authoritative application inventory and ownership model; identify and consolidate duplicate tools to reduce cost and operational overhead.
• Own operational administration of core applications and SaaS tools (Slack, Teams, SharePoint, Atlassian, Zendesk, Hub Spot, Gong, Zoom, Thrive, and more), ensuring stable service and licensing optimisation.

Security, Policy & Compliance (Operational Ownership)

• Proactively identify gaps in security controls and tooling, and drive remediation with Info Sec/Compliance, ensuring MIS services align with enterprise security policy (identity, endpoint configuration, access control, SaaS governance).
• Partner with Compliance on audits and evidence requests, support incident response for MIS-managed platforms, and maintain evidence-quality, auditable records;
  Assured maintains SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001 compliance.

Vendor & Stakeholder Management

• Own governance decisions, risk-based prioritisation, and vendor relationships (renewals, escalations, service level expectations) across MIS-managed platforms.
• Own annual MIS budget and licensing planning (forecasting, renewals), and drive roadmap planning balancing user experience, efficiency, and security.

Experience

• Experience managing a global, geographically distributed IT/MIS team across multiple regions/time zones, with a clear operating cadence and consistent standards.
• Experience owning enterprise policies across identity, endpoints, and SaaS governance, and leading audit evidence collection in regulated environments.
