  • Collaborate with application owners and IT teams to define and implement appropriate access controls.

Privileged Access Management (PAM)

  • Monitor privileged access usage and configure alerts for suspicious activity

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, Information Systems, or related field.

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in IAM-related roles.

  • Solid understanding of identity management concepts, including RBAC, ABAC, SoD, and identity federation.

  • Experience with IAM tools such as Okta, Azure AD, SailPoint, Ping Identity, ForgeRock, or similar.

  • Strong knowledge of SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, and LDAP.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their identity and access services.
