I am actively recruiting for a Senior Workplace, Risk & Security Engineer to start a 12 month contract in Amsterdam.

The Organisation’s Workplace Services and Employee Experience is responsible for the digital workplace of all 60.000+ global employees. The organisation ensures that their colleagues can work simply and safely with any device, wherever they are in the hybrid world. They deliver services that are vital to business operations, so when working for our team, you can make a tremendous impact

The organisation provides hardware (such as laptops & mobile solutions and video conferencing tools) and a large variety of business productivity software, including collaboration services such as Teams, SharePoint and Outlook. They also provide the infrastructure and 3rd line support for these services. WPS has standardised on SaaS (cloud) services and was one of the first financial institutions that fully committed to a truly Modern Workplace based on Microsoft 365.

Currently we are looking for a seasoned engineer with expertise in (Microsoft) Security Services.

What will you do?

• You are maintaining and improving our services as part of a cross-border squad of peers and customer journey experts. Employee satisfaction is key to us!

• We provide a 24/7 global service. You will also share the responsibilities of the team in solving 3rd line incidents on a rotation-based scheme, doing administration and participate in standby services.
