Maintain inventory of SaaS applications and internal software; flag and escalation shadow IT or unmanaged tools for remediation per policy. Assist with evidence collection and documentation for compliance audits when requested, without owning the compliance program. Evaluate internal software requests, renewals, and usage patterns to ensure cost-effective utilization, eliminate duplicative tools, and promote standardized platforms where appropriate.

Hands‑on experience with endpoint management tools (Jamf, Intune, or equivalent MDM platforms). Working familiarity with identity/SSO platforms (Okta or equivalent) from a day-to-day administration standpoint (not architecture).
