Lab Content & Scenario Design - Collaborate with SMEs to design scenario-based labs that align with real-world use cases: hardening, detection, incident response, forest recovery, and identity crisis management. - Translate exam blueprints and learning objectives from the Technical Certification program into lab flows, tasks, and validation logic that objectively assess skills at Foundation, Advanced, and Expert levels. - Define lab success criteria and build automated checks to confirm completion and correctness, ensuring reliable scoring for high-stakes exams and certifications. - Ensure labs are efficient to run (time-boxed), clearly documented, and usable for instructor-led classes, self-paced experiences, and partner workshops. - Partner with the certification program owners to ensure labs are tightly integrated into multi-level technical certification paths (Foundation, Advanced, Expert) for each product and audience (internal, partner, customer). Stakeholder Collaboration & Leadership - Act as the primary technical owner for labs across Technical Enablement, serving as the go-to person for Product, Engineering, Technical Delivery, and Partner teams when lab capabilities are needed for new programs or launches. - Work closely with instructors and instructional designers to align lab design with course content, assessments, and storytelling. - Communicate roadmap, progress, and risks for lab initiatives to Technical Enablement and product leadership; contribute actively to broader technical enablement strategy discussions. Technical Enablement Functions - Create a repeatable process for delivering internal technical enablement training sessions that include partnering with Product, Engineering and Technical Instructors. - Help create creative enablement solutions for our internal teams that include gamification components to help increase participation. - Regularly review feedback from learners, instructors, and partners to identify usability issues and opportunities for deeper or more training scenarios. Qualifications Required - 8+ years of experience in enterprise IT with a focus on Active Directory, Entra ID / Azure AD, and identity/security in hybrid environments. - 5+ years designing, implementing, or operating hands-on lab or sandbox environments for technical training, certification, or customer workshops (e.g., Skillable, Immersive Labs, custom lab platforms). - Strong engineering and implementation experience across Windows Server, AD, networking, virtualization, and cloud platforms (Azure required; AWS or others a plus). - Proven ability to translate complex technical scenarios into structured lab experiences with clear tasks, validation steps, and success criteria. - Experience writing and maintaining scripts in PowerShell, Python and Bash. - Excellent communication and documentation skills. Preferred - Direct experience with Skillable or similar virtual lab platforms, including template design, automation, and results reporting. - Experience integrating labs with LMS platforms (e.g., MindTickle) and partner portals (e.g., Allbound) for seamless learner journeys and data flow. - Background in cybersecurity or adjacent domains (identity security, cloud security, infrastructure protection). - Experience supporting or architecting technical certification programs or high-stakes skills assessments (internal or external), ideally including exam blueprinting, practical exams, or performance-based testing. - Hands-on familiarity with Semperis product areas (e.g., DSP, ADFR, DRET, Lightning, Ready1) or equivalent identity security products. - Relevant certifications such as Microsoft identity/security, Azure Architect, or equivalent.
