Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field. 5+ years of hands-on experience in Identity & Access Management within enterprise environments. Strong expertise in Entra ID (Azure AD), on-premises Active Directory, Conditional Access, MFA, SSO, PIM, and RBAC. Experience supporting Microsoft 365 / Exchange Online. Proficiency with PowerShell scripting for automation. Solid understanding of Zero Trust, identity governance, and email security best practices. Familiarity with Microsoft security/compliance tools and experience implementing AI-assisted IT operations (Copilot or similar). Relevant certifications (Azure, Microsoft 365, Security) preferred.
