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

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.
