• Drive a culture of automation, reliability engineering (SRE principles), and continuous delivery.
• Develop leadership bench strength and succession pipelines.

• Lead development of scalable IAM services, APIs, and identity orchestration workflows.
• Oversee integrations with customer‑facing applications, SaaS platforms, and internal systems.
• Enable CIAM (Customer Identity & Access Management) capabilities where applicable.
• Promote DevSecOps practices, infrastructure‑as‑code, and automation in identity provisioning and governance.

• Implement scalable identity lifecycle management and access governance across a distributed workforce.
• Mature RBAC/ABAC models and access certification processes.
• Ensure alignment with SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and other relevant compliance standards.

• Lead PAM strategy to secure privileged access across cloud and production environments.

• Ensure high availability, resilience, and security of identity infrastructure.

• Embed IAM within UKG’s Zero Trust architecture.
• Proactively identify and mitigate identity‑based threats and vulnerabilities.
• Support audits, incident response, and continuous compliance efforts.

• Experience leading IAM organizations within highly regulated industries (financial services experience preferred).
• Experience supporting regulatory audits, compliance programs, and governance initiatives.
• Experience managing both IAM engineering and IAM operations functions.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or related field.

• Industry certifications (CISSP, CISM, etc.).
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure preferred) and microservices architecture.
• Familiarity with SRE practices, observability, and reliability engineering.
