Your Impact

• SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM): Drive the rollout and ongoing management of the company's SSPM program, identifying and remediating misconfigurations across SaaS applications. Triage and prioritize findings, translate them into actionable remediation plans, and work closely with application owners and IT to close gaps and track resolution.

Collaborate with IT and infrastructure teams to ensure timely patching and configuration hardening across the endpoint estate, and provide risk-based guidance on outstanding vulnerabilities.
• Office & Corporate Network Security: Design, maintain, and continuously improve the security posture of office and corporate network environments. This includes firewall policy management, network segmentation, DNS security controls, wireless security, and monitoring for anomalous traffic or lateral movement within the corporate network.
• Email Security: Administer and optimize email security controls to protect the organization from phishing, spoofing, malware delivery, and business email compromise. Maintain and tune anti-spam, anti-phishing, and sandboxing configurations, and ensure strong enforcement of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC policies.
• DNS & Web Security: Manage DNS security controls including protective DNS filtering and response policy zones to block malicious domains and prevent data exfiltration. Administer web security gateways and content filtering solutions to enforce acceptable use policies and protect users from web-based threats, both on-network and when roaming.

Ensure tooling is operating effectively, alert fidelity is maintained, and platforms are integrated to provide clear visibility across the enterprise environment.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a key security partner to IT, infrastructure, and enterprise technology teams, providing security guidance on new tooling deployments, system changes, and technology projects. Contribute to the broader security program by supporting risk assessments, policy development, and security awareness initiatives relevant to enterprise systems.

Ability to communicate findings clearly and drive remediation across business and technical stakeholders.
• Endpoint Vulnerability Management: Hands-on experience with vulnerability scanning and management platforms such as Qualys, Tenable, or Rapid7.
