Job Level
About the role
- Design and implement a phased migration from MECM to Microsoft Intune, including co‑management, workload shifting, and eventual decommissioning of MECM for clients.
- Translate existing Group Policies into Intune configuration profiles, security baselines, and compliance policies, with minimal user disruption.
- Define and roll out Windows Autopilot and other zero‑touch provisioning approaches for new and re‑provisioned Windows devices.
- Implement and manage Entra ID–based device management and conditional access, including hybrid‑joined and cloud‑native devices.
- Design and implement Windows Hello for Business and other passwordless authentication options (e.g., FIDO2) in coordination with identity and security teams.
- Use E5 capabilities (Defender, endpoint security, app protection, device compliance) to uplift endpoint security posture.
- Package, deploy and update applications via Intune (and MECM where needed during transition), including rings/pilot groups and rollback plans.
- Develop documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer for internal operations teams, considering limited in‑house endpoint resources.
- Troubleshoot complex client management issues across MECM, Intune, Entra ID, on‑prem AD, and GPO.
- Collaborate with cloud, network and security teams to align endpoint management with zero‑trust and Azure migration initiatives.
Requirements
- Endpoint management/Windows client engineering, including hands‑on experience with Microsoft Intune/Endpoint Manager and MECM/ConfigMgr.
- Strong understanding of Active Directory, Entra ID (Azure AD), hybrid join, and Group Policy design and troubleshooting.
- Demonstrated experience implementing or migrating to Intune (co‑management, workload shifts, Autopilot, policy baselines).
- Experience with Windows Hello for Business, conditional access, and modern authentication concepts.
- Good knowledge of Microsoft 365 E5 security stack (Defender, compliance, device configuration).
- Solid PowerShell skills for automation, reporting, and remediation.
- Experience operating in resource‑constrained environments where you must prioritize and phase work carefully.
- Strong communication skills to work directly with stakeholders, explain trade‑offs, and drive change.
- Nice to Have: Experience managing or securing Windows servers with Intune or related tooling in hybrid scenarios.
- Exposure to zero‑trust architectures and endpoint‑related security frameworks.
- Experience with MacOS/iOS/Android MDM is a plus.
