- Lead authorization governance and policy decisions for critical systems, ensuring access aligns with business needs and security principles.
- Architect and implement automated identity lifecycle workflows, connecting core platforms and enforcing risk-based controls.
- Establish and maintain continuous Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), monitoring for over-privileged, dormant, or “shadow” identities.
- Develop and govern frameworks for non-human identities, service accounts, API keys, and AI agents to ensure secure integrations.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, security, and system owners to embed identity security into enterprise tools and processes.
- Act as the technical lead for compliance audits (SOX, PCI, ISO 27001, SOC 1/2), automating evidence collection to streamline compliance.
- Partner with strategic vendors to influence product roadmaps and maximize investment value.
- 5+ years of experience in Identity & Access Management (IAM/IGA), including lifecycle management, RBAC/ABAC, and Principle of Least Privilege.
- Hands-on experience with modern identity governance tools (e.g., Okta, Veza, Lumos) and identity discovery platforms.
- Expertise managing non-human identities and secrets in cloud environments (AWS/GCP).
- Strong understanding of Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) and risk detection methodologies.
- Proven ability to automate complex identity processes using scripting, workflow tools, or integration platforms.
- Compliance knowledge to translate regulatory requirements (SOX, PCI) into technical controls and automated workflows.
- Systems thinker with strong analytical, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Curious, innovative, and driven to design secure, scalable, and user-friendly identity solutions.
- Competitive base salary with annual bonus and equity opportunities.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage with options for dependents.
- Flexible time off and remote-friendly work arrangements.
