• Lead and coordinate enterprise-wide vulnerability assessments focused on Azure infrastructure and related services.
• Analyze existing cloud and hybrid architecture to identify security gaps, misconfigurations, and control weaknesses.
• Evaluate, design, and recommend infrastructure security controls (network segmentation, identity and access management, encryption, monitoring, logging, etc.).
• Develop a prioritized, risk-based remediation roadmap and work with engineering and operations teams to drive execution.
• Establish security architecture standards, patterns, and reference designs for Azure workloads.
• Partner with infrastructure, application, and DevOps teams to embed security into solution design and cloud migrations.
• Provide subject-matter expertise on Azure security capabilities (e.g., Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, Key Vault, NSGs, firewalls, policies).
• Monitor emerging threats and best practices; continuously improve security architecture and processes.
• Communicate findings and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders, including leadership.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Engineering, or related field; equivalent experience considered.

• Deep expertise in Azure infrastructure security, including:
• Identity and access management (AAD/Entra ID, RBAC, PIM)
• Network security (NSGs, ASGs, Azure Firewall, VPN/ExpressRoute, WAF)
• Data protection (encryption at rest/in transit, Key Vault, secrets management)
• Security monitoring and incident detection (Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, logging, SIEM integration).
• Proven experience conducting vulnerability assessments and translating findings into actionable, prioritized remediation plans.
• Strong understanding of security frameworks and standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks) and how to apply them in Azure.
• Demonstrated ability to design secure architectures for cloud and hybrid environments, including governance and policy enforcement.
• Excellent analytical, documentation, and communication skills, with the ability to influence and lead across teams.
