  • Do you have strong opinions about Conditional Access policies? Have you ever looked at a "temporary fix" and thought, that's a future problem with my name on it? Then you may be the person we're looking for.
  • We're a global business with a hybrid infrastructure and identity environment spanning Entra ID, Active Directory, Azure, Microsoft 365, on-premise systems and a healthy selection of SaaS platforms. We need a Senior Associate to help keep all of it fast, secure and resilient, whatever it's running on.

What you'll be doing

  • Running the day-to-day of our global hybrid infrastructure and identity platform, keeping it up, secure and performing
  • Building and maintaining identity security controls: Conditional Access, MFA, PIM and authentication methods
  • Helping guide our gradual move from traditional Active Directory to cloud-native Entra ID (it's a journey, and we'd like company)
  • Providing 3rd and 4th line support for the problems that have already outsmarted everyone else
  • Spotting better ways of doing things, evaluating new tech and then actually implementing it
  • Working with our global IT team, external partners and the occasional end user who just needs to be told to try turning it off and on again

What you'll bring

  • 5+ years of hands-on sysadmin or infrastructure experience
  • Deep knowledge of the Microsoft stack, cloud and on-prem
  • A solid grasp of enterprise identity and access management, including RBAC, least privilege and privileged identity management
  • Experience with Entra ID (Entra Connect, SSO, Enterprise Applications, hybrid identity), Azure (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), Windows Server, AD, DNS, IIS and SQL
  • Scripting and infrastructure-as-code skills in PowerShell, KQL and Terraform
  • Familiarity with Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Defender, Mimecast and networking basics
  • Good troubleshooting instincts, and the sense to call in backup when it's warranted
  • Bonus points for: an IT-related qualification, vendor certifications, and financial services experience.
