  • Troubleshoot and resolve connectivity challenges that may arise during identity, OS, or provisioning changes

Project and Technical Leadership

  • Collaborate with project leaders to define scope, timelines, risk management strategies, and key deliverables
  • Provide expert architectural guidance throughout the lifecycle of identity and OS transformation initiatives
  • Communicate technical direction, project status, and issues to leadership and technical stakeholders

Documentation and Change Enablement

  • Create detailed guides covering Entra Join configurations, migration steps, Autopilot enrollment logic, and Windows upgrade processes
  • Prepare training materials and support resources for IT personnel and end users
  • Document challenges, resolutions, and insights to refine future processes and standards

Post Migration Optimization

  • Monitor the health and performance of Entra Join identity services, provisioning pipelines, and Windows 11 environments
  • Address identity and VPN related issues that may surface after deployment
  • Stay informed about new Microsoft features, updates, and best practices to continuously enhance the environment

Required Qualifications

  • Strong hands on experience with Microsoft Autopilot, Intune, and Entra ID
  • Deep understanding of identity lifecycle patterns including Hybrid Azure AD Join and cloud native Entra Join
  • Experience working with Windows 10 and Windows 11 provisioning, deployment, and lifecycle management
  • Familiarity with GlobalProtect VPN behavior, configuration, and troubleshooting methods
  • Skilled in PowerShell scripting to automate tasks and generate reporting insights
  • Understanding of enterprise security expectations, identity governance, and compliance frameworks

Strategic And Analytical Capabilities

  • Ability to evaluate current identity and operating system landscape and outline a structured modernization plan
  • Experience leading broad scale transformation initiatives across distributed environments
