- Security & Vulnerability Partnership: Work in lockstep with the Information Security team to establish, measure, and enforce robust endpoint security baselines, zero-trust access controls, disk encryption, and rapid patching/vulnerability remediation.

- AI & Operational Automation: Leverage AI capabilities and automated workflows to accelerate device onboarding/offboarding, streamline configuration enforcement, and drive intelligent ticket deflection for endpoint-related L2/L3 issues.

**About You**

- Obsessed with Execution: You possess a relentless drive and bias for action.

- Collaborative Partner: You view Security as a core partner.

- Forward-Thinking Innovator: You stay ahead of modern device management trends and actively use AI and scripting automation to remove operational friction and human error.
