• Plan and govern patching activities in line with SLAs, maintenance windows, and change processes.
• Execute standard and emergency patching with appropriate testing, approvals, and rollback controls.
• Operate and continuously optimize patching and remediation tooling (e.g. Intune, Azure Update Manager, MECM/SCCM, Tanium).
• Drive automation and scripting to improve remediation efficiency and operational quality.
• Maintain accurate asset inventory, tagging, and ownership to enable accountability and reporting.
• Produce operational and executive-level reporting, highlighting trends and improvement opportunities.

• Experience in hybrid/cloud environments and supporting large-scale operations.

• Microsoft Security certifications such as MD102, AZ-500, MS-500, SC-100, SC-200, SC-300, SC-400
• Vendor-agnostic security Certification(s) such as from ISC2 (CISSP, CCSP, etc.), ISACA (CISM, CISA) or SANS/GIAC (GSEC, GCLD, GPCS, etc.) will be considered a plus.
