This is a client-facing consulting leadership role focused on IAM strategy, engagement delivery, client relationship management, team leadership, and account growth - not day-to-day configuration or engineering. The successful candidate will bring broad working knowledge across identity governance, privileged access management, access management, authentication, authorization, and identity data. This person should have enough technical judgment to guide delivery teams, evaluate solution designs and tradeoffs, identify delivery risks, and communicate credibly with technical and business stakeholders. You will partner with client stakeholders and Crowe leadership to shape IAM strategies and roadmaps, oversee teams performing the technical work, manage client relationships, and contribute actively to proposals, account expansion, and the continued growth of Crowe's IAM practice. IAM will be the primary domain for this position. As a manager within Crowe's Cybersecurity practice, however, you will also be expected to contribute to adjacent cybersecurity engagements - such as risk assessments, IT control evaluations, governance, risk, and compliance initiatives, and cloud security reviews - as client demand and practice needs require. This role is well suited to a consulting leader who has worked across multiple IAM domains and technology platforms, can lead senior client conversations independently, and enjoys strategic problem-solving, varied engagements, team development, and practice building. Hands-on implementation experience provides valuable context, but it is not the primary responsibility of this position., Leadership, Strategy, and Client Management * Lead the development of IAM strategies and roadmaps aligned with client business objectives, risk priorities, and technology environments. * Advise clients on Zero Trust and identity-centric security strategies at the program level. * Serve as the day-to-day client relationship owner for assigned engagements, managing scope, timelines, delivery risk, quality, and stakeholder expectations. * Lead client conversations independently and present strategies, findings, and recommendations to technical leaders, business stakeholders, and senior executives. * Identify opportunities to expand client relationships and address additional business needs. * Contribute to proposals, statements of work, RFP responses, solution development, and account planning. * Support the growth of Crowe's IAM practice through go-to-market materials, thought leadership, training, and service offering development. Delivery Oversight * Set solution direction and oversee the delivery of enterprise IAM capabilities across identity governance, access management, authentication and authorization, privileged access, and identity lifecycle management. * Guide technical delivery teams and review significant design decisions, implementation approaches, delivery risks, and technical tradeoffs. * Ensure the quality and consistency of delivery across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. * Lead or oversee IAM risk assessments, control evaluations, maturity assessments, and remediation planning. * Help clients align IAM programs and controls with applicable regulatory requirements and frameworks, including NIST, ISO, CIS, and industry-specific standards. * Connect business, risk, security, and technology stakeholders to ensure IAM initiatives address both business objectives and security requirements. Team and Talent Leadership * Help assemble and lead engagement teams based on client needs, required capabilities, and project scope. * Mentor and develop consultants and senior consultants, supporting their career growth, consulting skills, and technical development. * Provide timely performance feedback and contribute to performance management activities. * Support recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, and practice development efforts. Broader Cybersecurity Contribution * Lead or support cybersecurity engagements outside IAM, including risk assessments, IT control evaluations, GRC initiatives, security program maturity assessments, and cloud security reviews, when client demand or practice needs require. * Collaborate across security, cloud, application development, technology risk, and compliance teams, serving as a connector between business and technical domains. * Maintain sufficient knowledge of adjacent cybersecurity disciplines to contribute effectively across different engagement types. ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Checkmate: 5 Real Incidents That Can End a Software Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100126-checkmate-5-real-incidents-that-can-end-a-software-company) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) - [The Cloud is Calling: Answer with In-Demand Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/945-the-cloud-is-calling-answer-with-in-demand-skills) - [Advanced Cypress: custom assertions and tasks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/790-advanced-cypress-custom-assertions-and-tasks) - [How to govern Vibe Coding for the Enterprise](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100290-how-to-govern-vibe-coding-for-the-enterprise) ## Related Articles - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
