About The Technical Onboarding team
We’re continuing to build out a team of passionate Microsoft Consultants. We are looking for a Microsoft Consultant to join our ranks, as we exponentially grow our customer base.
The Technical Onboarding team supports a wide array of customers who have purchased our services, as they onboard, configure and tune the products we support. We are responsible for owning the deployment of the service for those customers and assisting them in maturing their security posture with regards to their MDR and security investment. This role will primarily be for implementation of the eSentire Microsoft service which focuses on Microsoft Sentinel and the Microsoft Defender suite of products (Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, Defender for Office, and Defender for Cloud).
We are laser focused on providing our customers the best possible experience in onboarding into eSentire’s various services and providing the customers with an ongoing partnership in their security journey.
Who You Are
As a Microsoft Consultant on the Technical Onboarding Team, you will be responsible for getting customers setup and running on Microsoft Sentinel and/or the Microsoft Defender suite of products (Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, Defender for Cloud Apps, Defender for Office, and Defender for Cloud) and helping them maintain their security posture through ongoing assistance and support.
