- Lead cross-functional identity modernization initiatives, including legacy application migration and cloud-first identity strategies.
What you'll need
- 8+ years of experience in identity and access management, systems architecture, or related enterprise infrastructure roles.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience architecting and managing Active Directory in enterprise environments (10,000+ users).
- 3+ years of experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) architecture and hybrid identity implementations.
- Experience with enterprise identity management, including identity lifecycle management and automated provisioning/deprovisioning.
- Experience with Operational Technology (OT) identity management, including access management for industrial control systems (SCADA, DCS, PLCs).
- Technical architecture skills including PowerShell, Microsoft Graph API, Azure CLI for identity automation, and directory services protocols (LDAP, LDAPS, Kerberos, NTLM).
Nice to have
- Experience with other identity platforms (Ping Identity, SailPoint, AWS IAM).
- Knowledge of compliance frameworks relevant to identity management (SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST).
- Certifications in Microsoft identity technologies (SC-300, MS-102) or equivalent vendor certifications.
- Experience with identity analytics, risk-based authentication, and behavioural analysis tools.
- Understanding of DevSecOps practices and infrastructure-as-code for identity deployments.
