• Provide IAM-related support for IT security measures to safeguard user data, applications, and systems against unauthorized access.

• 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.
