- Strengthen platform resilience, recovery readiness, and technology lifecycle management.

Experience: Seven or more years of relevant experience in enterprise technology engineering, infrastructure, operations, cybersecurity, or technology risk. Five or more years of hands-on experience supporting enterprise productivity, collaboration, messaging, or information-protection services is required.

The ability to interpret logs, alerts, configurations, technical designs, test results, and architecture diagrams is necessary.
Preferred Qualifications
- Strong analytical and systems-thinking capabilities.
- Proven ability to apply sound risk-based judgment and constructively challenge technical processes.
