• Drive AD/Entra ID health, performance and security posture, applying Zero Trust, privileged access tiering, MFA enforcement and identity segmentation principles.
• Integrate directory services with CI/CD and automation pipelines (GitHub Actions, TeamCity or similar) to deliver safe, repeatable and automated deployments.
• Troubleshoot complex identity, authentication and directory issues across hybrid cloud, on-premises and legacy systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on platform integrations, privileged access controls, directory-enabled applications and lifecycle processes.
