  • 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, security architecture, Identity & Access Management, or related technology disciplines.
  • Experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale IAM solutions across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments.
  • Deep understanding of Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and federated identity technologies.
  • Experience with leading IAM platforms including Microsoft Entra ID, SailPoint, Saviynt, CyberArk, Okta, Ping Identity, ForgeRock, or equivalent technologies.
  • Professional certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, TOGAF, SABSA, SailPoint, CyberArk, or equivalent security and IAM certifications are highly desirable.

Additional Requirements

  • Experience operating within highly regulated industries, preferably financial services.
  • Ability to work effectively with global teams and stakeholders across multiple regions.
  • Limited travel may be required based on business needs.
