• Build and maintain Conditional Access matrices to enforce zero-trust identity policies globally.
• Draft standardized Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) templates to simplify department-level onboarding.

Qualifications
• 1-3 years in IT Support, Systems Administration, or End-User Services with a strong understanding of user pain points.
