Work you'll do
Work You'll Do: You will act as the primary gatekeeper for Deloitte's Azure/M365 API access, reviewing and approving Microsoft Graph and Azure service API permission requests against least privilege and business need. Day-to-day you'll assess identity and access API risks, enforce SSDLC checkpoints, coordinate cross-functional escalations for high‑privilege or tenant‑wide requests, and produce audit‑ready evidence packages. You'll monitor remediation and compensating controls, help drive automation and process improvements to scale governance for a large enterprise environment and advise product and engineering teams with prescriptive, reusable guidance to reduce permission scope and improve secure design patterns.
Key Responsibilities
Permission Review: Review Azure and Microsoft Graph permission requests; approve, deny, or require redesigns based on least‑privilege, business need, and risk impact.
Advisory Validation: Advise engineering and product teams on secure Azure API and identity designs (least privilege, reusable patterns, safer token models); validate control implementation via documented checks, automation, or periodic sampling.
Automation & Tooling: Identify and implement automation to streamline intake, triage, decisioning, and KPI reporting; maintain templates and lightweight dashboards to speed consistent decisions.
Audit Evidence: Produce and retain decision records, evidence packages, and change logs to satisfy audits and regulatory reviews; ensure traceability from request to implementation.
Remediation & Controls: Monitor remediation progress, and define compensating controls where necessary; escalate persistent or high‑risk gaps to owners.
Cross‑Functional Alignment: Work closely with Global IAM, A&E Cloud Security, SSDLC, Privacy, OGC, GRC, service owners, and member‑firm security contacts to align decisions.
Decision Frameworks & Templates: Maintain documented decision frameworks, templates, and FAQs to ensure fast, consistent, and defensible outcomes.
Continuous Learning: Stay current on Microsoft Graph changes, Defender/Defender for Cloud advisories, and relevant security guidance.
