We are seeking a Senior Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineer / Lead to help advance and modernize an enterprise Identity & Access Management program. This is a highly strategic, engineering-focused role centered on improving IAM capabilities, driving automation, and strengthening security governance across the organization.

This position is not intended for candidates whose primary experience consists of day-to-day IAM administration, ticket resolution, or operational support. Routine Tier 1 and Tier 2 administration is handled by an external support partner. The successful candidate will focus on engineering, innovation, and long-term program development.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking professionals who:

• Challenge the status quo and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Drive IAM program maturity through engineering and modernization.
• Develop strategic roadmaps and execute long-term initiatives.
• Automate manual processes to improve efficiency and reduce risk.
• Design scalable IAM solutions rather than perform routine operational work.
• Partner effectively with third-party service providers while maintaining ownership of strategic initiatives.
• Bring a strong engineering and problem-solving mindset.

Primary Focus Areas

Successful candidates should expect to spend 90%+ of their time on:

• IAM program maturity
• Identity engineering
• Roadmap development and execution
• Enterprise integration planning
• Process improvement initiatives
• Partner governance

Less than 10% of the role involves:

• Building and executing strategic IAM roadmaps.
• Identifying and securing non-human identities and service accounts.
• Developing PKI and certificate management strategies.
• Automating audit evidence collection and compliance reporting.
• Designing scalable identity governance processes.

Required Qualifications

• Approximately 5+ years of Identity & Access Management experience (exceptional candidates with fewer years but significant accomplishments will be considered).
• Demonstrated success improving, modernizing, or implementing enterprise IAM programs.
• Experience developing strategic IAM solutions rather than performing primarily operational support.
• Strong engineering, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while partnering across technical and business teams.
