• Measurable and defensible under audit

• Produce and maintain control documentation, including:

• Architecture diagrams

• Control narratives

• Supporting technical evidence

• Support audit, regulatory, and compliance activities, including walkthroughs and evidence requests

• Partner with engineering teams to close control gaps and risk findings

Endpoint, Identity & Data Protection

• Govern secure design of:

• Identity‑centric access controls and device trust signals
• Data classification, retention, eDiscovery, and data loss prevention
• Ensure consistent application of hardening standards, configuration baselines, and policy enforcement across physical, virtual, and cloud desktops
• Review integrations between workplace platforms and downstream services from a security and data‑handling perspective

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work across Workplace Engineering, Cyber Security, Technology Risk, and Audit teams
• Act as a trusted advisor to platform and product owners
• Communicate complex technical and risk concepts clearly to technical, risk, and executive stakeholders

Basic Qualifications

• 4–10 years of experience in workplace engineering, security engineering, platform security, or risk‑aligned engineering roles
• Strong experience with Windows‑based desktop environments, including cloud‑hosted or virtual desktop models
• Proven experience working with Technology Risk, Audit, or Governance teams
• Strong understanding of security control design (preventive, detective, corrective)
• Experience creating architecture‑grade and audit‑ready documentation
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience securing cloud‑hosted digital workplace platforms

• Strong familiarity with:

• Cloud identity and access management models

• Endpoint management and configuration enforcement
