Security Administrator (PSS2), Information Resources & Technology

Rowan University • Glassboro, NJ • 2h ago

Security Administrator, PSS2

Joining Rowan University's Security Operations department as a Security Administrator, you will play a pivotal role as a security subject-matter expert, driving essential projects and implementing vulnerability management initiatives. This role is designed for a well-rounded IT professional with a comprehensive background across the technical stack, from endpoint management to networking.

Reporting to the Director of Security Operations, you will bridge the gap between high-level security policy and hands-on technical execution. While the core focus is Vulnerability Management and SOC Analysis, your success will depend on your ability to understand the underlying infrastructure, drawing on experience in multi-tier technical support and systems administration to resolve complex security challenges.

What You Get to Do

Security Systems Administration: Directly manage and maintain the university's core security platforms, specifically Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and the Tenable vulnerability management suite, ensuring the comprehensive health and monitoring of our diverse environment.

SIEM Operations: Support the Microsoft Sentinel environment, assisting with log ingestion, data normalization, and the development of SOAR playbooks to streamline incident response through automation.

Vulnerability Remediation: Identifying and investigating potential vulnerabilities, collaborating across departments to drive technical remediation and risk reduction.

Strategic Documentation: Developing security procedures, technical runbooks, and architectural diagrams that align with industry best practices.

Technical Mentorship: Acting as a security resource for Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams, providing expert guidance on security-focused desktop and networking issues.

We Are Looking For People Who Have:

Significant experience across the IT landscape, including Desktop Management, Networking, or Multi-tier Technical Support.

A strong understanding of security protocols, SIEM operations, and systems administration within an enterprise environment.

Practical knowledge of how to leverage AI/LLMs to enhance productivity, preferably with the ability to build AI agents or automated workflows to simplify security data analysis.

Technical familiarity with managing and securing Microsoft, macOS, and Linux environments.

The ability to interpret security reports, identify trends, and translate findings into actionable mitigations.

Proven ability to interface with cross-functional IT teams and management to communicate risk and implement solutions.

A degree in a related field or a combination of professional certifications and relevant work experience in a technical support or admin role.

Nice to Have:

Experience administrating vulnerability scanning platforms (Tenable), the Microsoft Security suite (Defender for Endpoint/Cloud), and SIEM log ingestion (Sentinel).

Foundational knowledge of firewall management (Palo Alto, Cisco, etc.) and network security architecture.

Industry certifications such as Security+, GSEC, or CCNA.

Experience operating within a 24/7 high-availability or Higher Education environment.

What We Offer:

Modern Work Model: A flexible hybrid schedule featuring three days of collaborative onsite work and two days of remote focus.

Retirement & Future: Leading retirement benefits with an 8% employer contribution.

Comprehensive Leave: 22 vacation days and 15 sick days allotted annually.

Healthcare: Premium medical and dental coverage with low employee contributions.

Educational Growth: Tuition benefits for you and your eligible family members/partners.

Wellness incentives and other programs to help support your work-life balance.

Housing incentive for Glassboro residents.

An inclusive and supportive work environment that values diversity.
