AVP, Endpoint Privileged Access Engineer - Delinea Privilege Manager

Role Summary/Purpose:

The Endpoint Privileged Access Engineer is responsible for managing Windows and macOS workstations by implementing and maintaining endpoint privileged access controls using Delinea Privilege Manager. This role ensures privileged access is restricted, monitored, and aligned to policy while enabling users to perform daily tasks effectively and securely.

Given current workload and platform demand, this position supports a strategic need to increase team capacity to scale for Synchrony (SYF) requirements, improve support for endpoint privilege use cases, and strengthen compliance alignment across a high volume of privileged access.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Administer and maintain Delinea Privilege Manager policies and controls for Windows and macOS endpoints.
• Design and enforce least-privilege access models (elevation control, application control, and privilege delegation) to reduce standing admin rights.
• Partner with endpoint engineering, security, and application teams to onboard applications/use cases and ensure business productivity with appropriate guardrails.
• Support endpoint privilege requests and operational workflows, including troubleshooting elevation failures and resolving policy conflicts.
• Monitor policy effectiveness and endpoint privileged activity to identify gaps, risky behavior, or non-compliant configurations and drive remediation.
• Contribute to standardization and scaling of endpoint privileged access controls to meet growing SYF demand and address current capacity constraints.
• Maintain documentation for policies, procedures, troubleshooting steps, and operational runbooks.
• Provide on-call or after-hours support as required for critical endpoint privilege incidents or business-impacting issues.
• Perform other duties and/or special projects as assigned.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• Hands-on experience supporting endpoint privileged access controls using Delinea Privilege Manager (Windows and/or macOS).
• Strong understanding of least privilege principles and endpoint security controls (e.g., elevation workflows, application allow/deny models, delegated administration).
• Experience supporting enterprise endpoint environments at scale (Windows and macOS), including troubleshooting and operational support.
• Working knowledge of compliance expectations and control requirements (e.g., access control, auditability, least privilege, policy enforcement) in regulated environments.
• Strong communication skills and ability to partner across teams (endpoint, security, risk/compliance, and application owners).
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a high-volume environment and help scale processes to meet enterprise demand.
• Ability and flexibility to travel for business as required
