Full Job Description
About the Opportunity

We are a premier technology consultancy supporting a Fortune 50 enterprise technology organization in the execution of high-impact, strategic transformation initiatives. As part of an enterprise-wide multi-tenancy and organizational realignment program, we are seeking a macOS Enterprise Architect to lead the strategy, planning, and lifecycle enablement for Apple macOS endpoints within a future-state multi-tenant operating model.

This is a strategic and technically hands-on role focused on tenant ownership, endpoint policy standardization, patching, software distribution, identity management, and tool integration specific to the Apple ecosystem. The ideal candidate will possess deep experience with macOS enterprise management across platforms such as JAMF, Intune, and Entra ID, and will demonstrate the ability to collaborate across cybersecurity, infrastructure, identity, and GRC stakeholder teams.

Role Summary

As the macOS Enterprise Architect, you will define and drive the architecture for macOS lifecycle management in a large-scale, multi-tenant enterprise environment. You will evaluate and optimize tooling for device enrollment, app deployment, authentication, and compliance-supporting enterprise ownership transitions across organizational domains. You will also guide identity, MDM, and MAM integrations while aligning macOS strategy with overall risk and operational objectives.

Collaboration across Windows and hybrid platform architects, endpoint engineering, and security stakeholders will be key to ensuring macOS devices are securely and consistently managed at scale.

Key Responsibilities
  • Architect the macOS strategy and governance model for multi-tenant environments
  • Lead initiatives related to Apple Business Manager (ABM), Push Certificate lifecycle, and JAMF Pro environment configuration
  • Design enrollment workflows (kitted vs. out-of-box), authentication flows, and provisioning models
  • Assess and refine macOS deployment strategies, configuration profiles, and self-service application catalogs
  • Support migration planning and testing across managed Mac environments
  • Establish policy baselines aligned to industry and internal standards (e.g., CIS Benchmarks)
  • Integrate with enterprise identity platforms (e.g., Entra ID) and supporting tooling
  • Collaborate with vendors, Apple support, and internal teams for MDM/ABM coordination
  • Align macOS architectural decisions with enterprise security posture strategy (e.g., Prisma Cloud, ServiceNow)

Required Qualifications
  • 8+ years of experience in macOS platform engineering or architecture in enterprise environments
  • Proven hands-on experience with JAMF Pro, ABM, Intune, and certificate lifecycle management
  • Expertise in Apple device provisioning, PreStage profiles, and modern authentication models
  • Knowledge of macOS hardening techniques and compliance benchmarks (e.g., CIS, FileVault, Gatekeeper)
  • Experience supporting tenant transitions or mergers involving Apple endpoints
  • Scripting and automation capabilities (e.g., Bash, Python, Swift)
  • Strong communication skills and comfort interfacing across IT, cyber, and operations leadership

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience leading tenant/domain transition projects in a large enterprise
  • Familiarity with tools such as AutoPkg, Munki, Nudge, and Extension Attributes
  • Experience working with Apple and Mac hardware vendors for enterprise integration
  • Exposure to enterprise posture tools such as Prisma Cloud or workflow platforms like ServiceNow
  • Knowledge of cross-platform endpoint strategy in hybrid environments (e.g., SCCM, Windows Autopilot)

Why Join Us?
  • Play a lead role in defining and implementing secure, scalable macOS management at enterprise scale
  • Support a highly confidential transformation initiative with visibility across leadership teams
  • Collaborate across cloud, infrastructure, cyber, and identity domains
  • Help shape a modern endpoint strategy that aligns with broader security posture goals
  • Engage in a remote-first opportunity with long-term potential and strategic impact
