• Define and enforce security best practices for IAM governance, access workflows, and security controls while ensuring compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, and CIS Benchmarks.
• Work with Integration Engineers to design secure API integrations for UAR processes, defining data synchronization, encryption standards, and API security best practices.
• Oversee secure access management across enterprise platforms, including Active Directory, Workday, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, ensuring proper authentication mechanisms using OAuth, SAML, and OpenID.
• Conduct security risk assessments, compliance reviews, and IAM security audits, validating security configurations and ensuring IAM automation workflows meet compliance requirements.
• Define logging, monitoring, and auditing requirements to track user access activities and support real-time security event monitoring.
• Develop access governance models, security policies, and identity lifecycle management best practices while ensuring role-based security compliance.
• Oversee secure deployment of IAM frameworks, implementing post-implementation IAM governance and aligning security with business requirements and regulatory standards.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to security, engineering, and compliance teams, guiding IAM security strategy discussions and architecture decisions.
• Work closely with stakeholders, IT teams, and compliance groups to ensure alignment with security policies, business needs, and regulatory requirements.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 7+ years of security architecture, IAM, and access governance experience.
• Expertise in RBAC, IAM governance, access workflows, and security controls.
• Strong experience in Active Directory, Azure AD, Workday, Salesforce, and ServiceNow security models.
• Hands-on knowledge of API security, authentication protocols (OAuth, SAML, OpenID), and data protection.
• Strong background in SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Benchmarks, and enterprise security best practices.
• Experience leading security risk assessments, compliance audits, and mitigation strategies.
• Ability to collaborate with engineers, IT, and compliance teams to drive security best practices.
