- Respond to client questions related to security events, audit requests, and risk concerns with professionalism, accuracy, and practical recommendations.
- Identify security gaps across client environments and internal processes, then recommend improvements that strengthen protection, reduce exposure, and support long-term maturity.
- Collaborate with service desk, project, and technical pod teams on escalations involving endpoint security, identity, email protection, DNS filtering, and access controls.
- Support vulnerability management and remediation efforts by helping prioritize findings, tracking follow-through, and verifying risk reduction across affected systems.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of S1's security operations by refining workflows, improving documentation, and helping standardize repeatable response procedures.

- Solid knowledge of networking fundamentals and security concepts, including firewalls, DNS, VLANs, routing, access controls, and practical troubleshooting methods.
- Experience with endpoint detection and response, extended detection and response, email security, DNS filtering, and Microsoft security-related technologies.
- Familiarity with Microsoft 365 administration and identity security concepts, including Entra ID and Conditional Access.
- Experience with scripting and automation tools such as PowerShell, Python, or Bash to streamline investigations and operational tasks.
- Knowledge of vulnerability management, security audits, compliance frameworks, and security recommendations that can be applied in real-world client environments.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain security risks, findings, and remediation steps to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team, manage priorities effectively, and stay composed when issues require urgency and attention to detail.
- Commitment to continuous learning and staying current with changing threats, security tools, and industry best practices.
