• Help evaluate and plan for a future IAM tool implementation, contributing engineering-level input on architecture and rollout.
• Partner with stakeholders across two distinct business entities, understanding each one’s specific security posture, policies, and requirements.
• Contribute to broader security engineering work, including security architecture, process improvement, and policy development.
• Support and help mentor contract/admin-level team members as the cybersecurity team rebuilds.
• Participate in incident response, vulnerability management, and other security engineering functions as needed.

Do you have experience in Security technology solutions implementations?, Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, * Demonstrated experience with Active Directory and Azure AD/Entra ID administration and engineering in a hybrid (on-premises plus cloud) identity environment.

• Experience designing or implementing role-based access control (RBAC) frameworks.
• Strong understanding of identity and access management best practices.
• Comfortable working across multiple business entities or client environments with differing security requirements - MSP-style experience is valued.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.
• Able and willing to work onsite at the Plymouth, MN headquarters; this role is not hybrid or remote., * Hands-on experience implementing or administering an IAM platform (e.g., SailPoint, Okta, or similar).
