  • Partner collaboratively with Cybersecurity, Cloud Engineering, Product Security, Infrastructure, Enterprise Architecture, and business stakeholders to deliver secure and scalable identity solutions.
  • Define IAM monitoring, logging, reporting, and metrics programs to measure access risk, identity hygiene, control effectiveness, and identity-related threat activity.
  • Provide technical leadership during identity-related incidents, investigations, access-control failures, and major security decisions.
  • Drive continuous improvement through automation, policy-as-code, and AI-enabled capabilities that enhance security outcomes, governance, operational efficiency, and user experience.
  • Mentor engineers and technical teams by fostering an authentic, accountable, and collaborative culture focused on operational excellence and innovation.
  • Produce clear technical documentation, standards, architectural guidance, and implementation patterns supporting enterprise-wide adoption.

  • Demonstrated experience designing IAM architectures across hybrid, multi-cloud, SaaS, Windows, Linux, and on-premises environments.
  • Strong understanding of access governance, role-based access control, entitlement management, and least-privilege security models.
  • Experience troubleshooting complex authentication, authorization, federation, token, and access-policy issues.
  • Ability to communicate complex identity and security risks to technical and executive stakeholders in a clear and actionable manner.
  • Experience supporting identity capabilities within customer-facing products, commercial technology platforms, or enterprise-scale business environments.
  • Working knowledge of artificial intelligence and the ability to responsibly leverage AI-enabled tools to improve IAM automation, governance, threat detection, analytics, and security operations.
  • Strong written communication, stakeholder management, documentation, and presentation skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in an agile, customer-centric, and highly collaborative environment.
Preferred Skills & Experience
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, LDAP directories, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), federation technologies, and enterprise SSO solutions.
  • Experience with Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platforms such as SailPoint, Saviynt, One Identity, or equivalent solutions.
  • Experience with Privileged Access Management (PAM) technologies including CyberArk, PAM360, or similar credential vaulting and privileged governance platforms.
  • Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code and automation technologies such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Microsoft Graph, PowerShell, Azure Key Vault, and policy-as-code frameworks.
  • Experience securing application identities, workload identities, managed identities, containers, CI/CD pipelines, serverless services, and other non-human identities.
  • Familiarity with identity-focused threat detection and defense, including token theft, consent phishing, credential abuse, privilege escalation, and lateral movement techniques.
  • Experience supporting regulated environments and compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, CMMC, or similar standards.
  • Industry certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate, CISSP, CCSP, CIMP, or related security and identity certifications.
