  • Driving Results: Proactively identify project delays, remove roadblocks, and instill a sense of urgency to drive initiatives to completion.
  • Technical & Strategic Ownership: Own the technical roadmap and operational health of the End User Computing, Office Network, and SASE environments. Partner with business leaders to align initiatives with company goals.

Skill Requirements

  • Deep understanding of SASE/SSE and Zero Trust architecture.
  • Experience managing enterprise network infrastructure (Palo Alto, Aruba, or similar).
  • Familiarity with endpoint security tools (DLP, EDR) and SecOps concepts.
