Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an IT Manager, Identity & Access Management to join our team! Reporting to the IT Director, Security Operations, as IT Manager, Identity & Access Management, you will build and lead a team that will focus on helping design, implement, and operate effective access controls that protect against threats, support business objectives, and maintains compliance with regulatory requirements such as PCI, HIPAA, SOX, etc. Your team will manage access to all critical assets by focusing on areas like Access Management (AM), Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Entitlement Management, and approval matrices. You’ll be the SME that defines, documents and consults on how all the IAM components and services operate and interact.

The right candidate will have a strong background and understanding of all cybersecurity domains and will operate in the Protect, Respond, and Recover areas of the NIST CSF Framework.

• Perform requirements analysis, develop strategy, design, manage implementation, and develop processes for all in-scope applications
• Supervision and development of staff on multiple projects, business development, and communications with executives

• Manage a team and/or workstream on projects, day-to-day operations, and incident management
• Take functional ownership of all IAM applications/platforms
• Participate in on-call rotation to provide 24x7 support for our business
