You Will:

• Manage and execute IAM solution technology implementations that align with company goals, ensuring reliable access control across systems and applications.
• Lead a small team of IAM specialists, providing mentorship, guidance, and hands-on support to drive efficient and secure operations.
• Implement IAM policies, standards, and procedures to maintain compliance with industry regulations and internal policies.
• Collaborate with IT and other departments to integrate IAM requirements seamlessly within business processes.
• Oversee the selection, deployment, and management of IAM tools, including IGA, enhancing scalability and operational efficiency.
• Regularly assess and improve IAM configurations and workflows to address evolving security needs and industry trends.
• Conduct periodic reviews and audits, implementing improvements based on findings to enhance security and compliance.
• Provide IAM-related support for IT security measures to safeguard user data, applications, and systems against unauthorized access.

What You Will Bring:

• Proven experience in IAM management, including successful program implementation and execution.
• Strong knowledge of IAM processes, technologies, and compliance requirements (e.g., NIST, FedRAMP).
• Ability to lead a small, dedicated team, fostering collaboration, accountability, and professional growth.
• Excellent organizational and problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on attention to detail and execution.
• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or similar are a plus.
