ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a strategic, technically proficient, and people-oriented Manager of Microsoft 365 & Entra Services to lead our Infrastructure Engineering team. This individual will oversee the design, implementation, and lifecycle management of Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Microsoft 365 services, and Active Directory infrastructure. The successful candidate will bring deep domain expertise, strong leadership capabilities, and a commitment to excellence in planning, execution, and governance.
This is a critical leadership role focused on engineering, architecture, and compliance—not day-to-day operations.
