- Authentication & SSO: Architect and oversee modern authentication standards, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and passwordless technology.
- Privileged Access Management (PAM): Manage enterprise PAM solution implementation, securing administrative credentials, session monitoring, and just-in-time access controls.
- Identity Governance & Administration (IGA): Direct user access reviews, entitlement certification campaigns, and automated access request/approval workflows.

Risk Management, Compliance & Support

- Audit & Compliance: Function as the primary IAM lead for internal and external audits, ensuring timely remediation of access-related findings.
- Incident Response: Act as an escalation point for identity-focused security incidents, credentials compromise, and unauthorized access investigations.
- Vendor Management: Evaluate, select, and manage third-party IAM software vendors, tools, and professional services partners.

## Qualifications

- 8+ years of total experience in IT and Cybersecurity, with at least 3+ years in a leadership/management capacity focused specifically on Identity & Access Management.
