You'll play a critical role in designing and evolving services around Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). The Service Designer needs network, SASE and Cyber Security experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop Zero Trust-based solutions to replace traditional remote access technologies such as VPN, proxies, and Citrix.
• Establish Real Time, posture-aware access policies that adapt to user context, device health, and security posture for dynamic access control.
• Take ownership of the MDCA service model (including OIT Infra and SSO) and define necessary enhancements.
• Design operational processes, assess business impact, and model org changes.
• Work with stakeholders across infrastructure, cloud security, identity, and application teams.
• Map and document onboarding flows and use cases for both Legacy and modern applications.
• Ensure technical and business alignment across the project.
• Support financial modelling and help build the case for investment in the updated service model.

Required Experience:

• Proven senior level experience in Service Design within strong Cyber Security and telecom environments
• Strong understanding of SASE frameworks, Zero Trust architecture, and cloud-native security
• Deep knowledge of MDCA (Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps) or similar security solutions

• Excellent communication and presentation skills

Nice to have skills:
