  • Lead global IAM service delivery, third-party SI partners, automation and self-service, and the responsible adoption of AI agents to reduce manual work, improve control quality, and increase operational resilience.
  • IAM service ownership and operational excellence.
  • Run ITSM-aligned operations: incident, problem, change, request, and knowledge management with clear escalation paths and on-call readiness.
  • Establish and report SLAs/SLOs and operational KPIs, including availability, MTTR, ticket throughput, backlog health, and quality metrics (mis-provisioning, rework, escalations).
  • Partner with architecture and engineering teams to improve reliability, resilience, and deployment outcomes (release readiness, change controls, rollback strategies).

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in information security, Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
  • Proven experience operating IAM services at enterprise scale (large user populations, many applications, multi-region environments).
  • Strong IAM domain knowledge: authentication, authorization, SSO, MFA, federation (SAML/OIDC), lifecycle management, RBAC/ABAC concepts, and access governance fundamentals.
  • Strong ITSM and operational management experience: incident/problem/change/request, SLAs/SLOs, metrics, and service health reporting.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage third-party SI partners and/or managed services with measurable outcomes (scorecards, SLAs, escalations, coverage models).
  • Track record delivering automation and self-service using workflows, APIs, and orchestration with tangible reductions in manual effort and ticket volume.
  • Experience supporting audits and compliance requirements related to access controls (SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, or similar), including evidence production and remediation.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, including leading major incidents and delivering executive-level updates.
