Job description

  • Platform Management: Maintain core IAM components, often involving Active Directory, CyberArk (for Privileged Access), PingID (for MFA), and related infrastructure like DNS, DHCP, and Windows Server.
  • Automation: Use scripting (PowerShell) and tools to automate identity lifecycle processes, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency.
  • Security & Compliance: Ensure adherence to security policies, audit requirements, and privacy regulations.
  • Incident Response: Handle security incidents related to access management using ITSM platforms (like ServiceNow).
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Work with application owners, developers, and business users to guide them on IAM standards and best practices.

Requirements

  • Core IAM Tools: CyberArk, PingID, Active Directory, Azure AD (often implied in enterprise environments).
  • Scripting: PowerShell, Python.
  • Cloud (Potentially): AWS IAM, Terraform (for IaC).
  • ITSM: Experience with tools like ServiceNow.
  • General: Strong communication, ability to work in a global, matrixed team.
