-
Implement and operate Privileged Access Management (PAM), including vaulting, session management, and just-in-time access.
-
Lead Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) initiatives such as access reviews, certifications, role-based access control (RBAC), and segregation-of-duties controls.
-
Integrate applications with the identity platform using SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SCIM, and LDAP.
-
Develop automation and tooling (APIs, scripts, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code) to reduce manual identity operations.
-
Secure cloud identity and access across AWS, Azure, and/or GCP, including IAM policies, workload identity, and service accounts.
-
Define and enforce authentication and authorization standards, policies, and best practices.
-
Monitor identity-related threats and support detection and response for account compromise, credential abuse, and privilege escalation.
Experience and qualifications

6 to 15 years of experience in IAM, security engineering, or a related field.
-
Hands-on experience with at least one major IAM platform such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Ping Identity, ForgeRock, SailPoint, or CyberArk.
-
Strong knowledge of identity protocols and standards: SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, LDAP, and Kerberos.
-
Experience with Active Directory and directory services architecture.
-
Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, PowerShell, Go, Java, or JavaScript).
-
Solid understanding of cloud IAM models (AWS IAM, Azure RBAC, GCP IAM).
-
Experience with MFA, passwordless, and conditional or risk-based access.
-
Familiarity with Zero Trust, least privilege, and defense-in-depth principles.
-
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
