  • Represent the identity engineering function in customer, regulator, and stakeholder engagements, articulating security value and building trust.

Key Deliverables

  • A resilient, scalable, and unified identity management platform that enables secure and seamless user access across the enterprise.
  • End-to-end integration of identity security objectives into product and business lifecycles, tracked by clear OKRs.
  • Implementation of continuous monitoring and control processes to maintain security standards and audit readiness (e.g., SOC2).
  • Consistent delivery of strategic projects that automate and optimize identity processes, reducing manual effort and risk.
  • Development and retention of top cyber talent, cultivating a learning and high-performance environment.
  • Desired Skills

  • Proven leadership in managing and developing high-performing technical teams, especially in identity or security engineering.
  • Extensive hands-on experience with enterprise identity and access management platforms (e.g., Microsoft Azure AD, Okta, SailPoint, Ping Identity).
  • Solid understanding of identity data architectures, identity federation, and integration of cloud / on-premise systems.
  • Expertise in authentication and authorization frameworks and protocols (SAML, OAuth, OIDC, LDAP, SCIM).
  • Strong analytical and systems-thinking skills, with the ability to translate complex requirements into effective solutions.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience architecting and implementing Identity Data Fabrics or similar unified identity data platforms.
  • Familiarity with Zero Trust architectures and modern security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001).
  • Background in data analytics and correlating large identity datasets for actionable security outcomes.
  • Exposure to DevSecOps practices, security automation, and infrastructure as code (IaC).
  • Demonstrated ability to partner with legal, compliance, and audit teams to achieve risk and regulatory goals.
  • Track record of innovation in identity, security, or automation initiatives.
  • Additional Skills And Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 15+ years of progressive experience in identity engineering, cybersecurity, or IT with at least 5 years in a technical leadership role.
