Experience

3–5 years of Identity and Access Management experience
Identity & Cloud Ecosystems: Proficient in Active Directory (GPOs, OUs, Security Groups) and Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD.
Access Governance: Solid understanding of modern identity principles, including Single Sign-On (SSO), MFA architectures, Conditional Access policies, Access Governance, and Password Management.
Automation & Coding Mindset: Ability to identify manual, repetitive tasks and suggest structured, efficient solutions. While not a strict requirement, hands-on experience or familiarity with scripting/code (e.g., PowerShell, Python, or Microsoft Graph API) to automate IAM workflows is a major plus.
Frameworks & Tools: Experience working within standard ticketing/workflow tools (e.g., Jira), familiarity with ITIL/SecOps processes, and an openness to leveraging AI assistance for documentation, log analysis, or troubleshooting.

Duties & Responsibilities

Identity Lifecycle & Access Administration: Manage the full lifecycle (provisioning, modifications, and de-provisioning) of user accounts, groups, and OU structures across hybrid environments, including Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD).
Modern Governance & RBAC: Collaborate with business and IT application owners to design, implement, and maintain scalable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) templates and automated provisioning workflows.
SecOps & Incident Response: Function as a key pillar of Security Operations. Promptly troubleshoot, analyze, and resolve Tier 2/3 IAM and access-related incidents, maintaining clear communication with end-users and the service desk through to resolution.
Security Architecture Support: Administer and optimize identity governance policies, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Conditional Access policies.
Audit, Risk & Compliance: Participate in routine IAM security audits, analyze access control reports to proactively mitigate risk, and ensure alignment with corporate risk management policies.
Process Optimization & AI Utilization: Act as a trusted security liaison across IT Services teams. Use Lean methodologies, automation, and emerging AI tools to optimize workflows, analyze incident patterns, and streamline repetitive processes.

Competencies

Analytical Problem Solver: Excellent incident analysis and logical troubleshooting skills; able to look at complex data and present practical conclusions.
High Autonomy & Tech-Forward Mindset: Self-motivated, proactive, and eager to adopt modern tools (including automation scripts and AI utilities) to elevate team performance.
Exceptional Communication: Strong interpersonal, written, and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex security concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Stress Tolerance & Accuracy: Exceptional attention to detail and documentation skills, maintaining high-quality work under tight operational timelines.
