  • Process new-hire and separation requests in coordination with People Operations. Handle account creation, group membership, MFA enrollment, equipment provisioning, and timely access removal. Ensure all access changes are documented and completed within published service windows.
  • Apply patches and software updates pushed via N-able and validate successful deployment on assigned endpoints. Remediate Tenable vulnerability findings on endpoints through patching and configuration changes within compliance windows and document supporting evidence.
  • Perform first-look triage of SentinelOne MDR alerts and Blumira SIEM notifications. Investigate routine alerts, document findings, and escalate confirmed or suspected incidents to the Manager of Technology immediately per the incident response procedure.
  • Enforce PCI-DSS workstation controls including screen-lock policy, prohibition on storing cardholder data on endpoints, anti-malware verification, and removable-media restrictions. Follow change-management procedures for all production endpoint and account changes.
  • Document troubleshooting steps, root cause, and resolution within each ticket to build an institutional record. Author and update knowledge base articles for recurring issues and standard fixes and contribute to IT runbooks and standard operating procedures.
