• Administer our privileged access management program with oversight, focusing on endpoint privilege management, operating local administrator elevation, least‑privilege policies, and just‑in‑time access on endpoints within approved guardrails

• Triage and respond to security operations alerts from our SIEM and endpoint tooling under the guidance of senior engineers, escalating, documenting, and helping close out incidents
• Run the day‑to‑day administration of our security awareness program, including building, scheduling, and reporting on phishing simulations and assigning follow‑up training
