Though our tech stack includes HiBob, Okta, Kandji, Kolide & Zscaler amongst others, we really value someone with a breadth of experience leading on technical projects across various technologies and platforms. Lived in Entra and Intune? Awesome!
Enough technical knowledge to be able to articulate yourself to both your techy peers and a novice user
To be comfortable with a huge amount of ambiguity and spinning a lot of plates all at the same time
