Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Lead Engineer for Identity and Access Management (IAM) to drive our IAM strategy and implementation, including the critical area of Privileged Access Management (PAM).

The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in IAM and PAM, a strategic mindset, and the ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design, development, and execution of both the IAM and PAM strategies, ensuring they align with the organization's security objectives and business goals. Provide leadership and guidance to the IAM and PAM teams.
  • Design and implement architectures for IAM and PAM that support secure and efficient management of identities and privileged access across all systems and applications. Ensure these architectures align with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
  • Continuously assess and improve IAM and PAM processes, procedures, and infrastructure to ensure they are effective, efficient, and compliant. This includes automation of IAM and PAM controls and processes where applicable.
  • Conduct and oversee IAM and PAM assessments of technology, processes, and vendors to identify gaps against established standards. Implement necessary controls to protect information systems and vital assets.
  • Lead the implementation and ongoing management of PAM solutions, including tools like CyberArk, to secure, control, and monitor access to critical systems and data.
  • Work closely with other security architects, IT application solution architects, and key strategic vendors to plan, design, and challenge the IAM and PAM security of applications that support cross-functional business needs.
  • Drive the planning and execution of the IAM and PAM technology roadmap, including evaluating and integrating new technologies that enhance our capabilities in these areas.
  • Create, maintain, and enforce IAM and PAM standards, ensuring they are consistent with industry guidelines, best practices, and organizational requirements. Provide consulting support to internal projects as needed.

  • Undergraduate degree in Technology, Data Science, Business, Finance, or a related discipline is required; a post-graduate degree is a plus.
  • Relevant industry certifications, such as CISSP, ISSAP, CCSP, SABSA, or other recognized Information Security certifications, are highly desirable.

Professional Experience:

  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in information and cybersecurity, including strategy design, implementation, and monitoring.
  • At least 5 years of experience specifically in IAM architecture.
  • Experience providing strategic guidance in a large consulting organization is a plus.
  • Deep technical or operational experience in IAM and cybersecurity, with broad knowledge across various security disciplines such as vulnerability management, access management, cloud security, and risk management.
  • Experience with security frameworks like NIST CSF and a variety of security technologies.

Additional Skills:

  • Extremely effective communicator with strong written and oral communication skills, capable of engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to present complex technical concepts to a diverse audience, ensuring clarity and understanding.
  • Effective at building and fostering professional relationships, influencing peers, and working collaboratively across different levels of the organization.
