What are the responsibilities and job description for the Privileged Access Management Engineer position at JCW Group?
Privileged Access Management Engineer (PAM) VP | Charlotte, NC
A globally recognized, top-tier financial institution is expanding its US identity security function and is hiring a VP of Privileged Access Management Engineering to lead hands-on engineering delivery within its IAM organization.
This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground level of a genuine build-out: privileged access engineering has just transitioned into this team, and the successful candidate will take ownership of shaping the environment from here — not inherit a finished system.
About the Role
You'll report directly to the leader of the PAM function and act as the primary hands-on engineer driving delivery — someone who can take direction, then build and operate independently with real ownership. PAM operates as a distinct, dedicated discipline within a fast-growing global Identity & Access Management organization.
What You'll Do
- Own CyberArk engineering end-to-end — design, build, and operational maturity of the privileged access environment.
- Work extensively with Microsoft Entra ID, specifically Privileged Identity Management (PIM).
- Support and contribute to Delinea-related initiatives as part of the broader PAM toolset.
- Partner closely with a small, high-growth team on one of the organization's fastest-expanding global mandates.
- Operate with genuine autonomy on a live, active build-out rather than legacy maintenance.
What You'll Bring
- Strong, hands-on CyberArk engineering experience (primary requirement).
- Solid experience with Microsoft Entra ID / Privileged Identity Management (PIM).
- Financial services background strongly preferred; candidates from other heavily regulated industries (e.g., healthcare) will also be considered.
- Enterprise-scale PAM experience; exposure across multiple environments is a plus.
- Open to candidates with varied career backgrounds, including contract and consulting experience.
- Based in or willing to relocate to Charlotte, NC.
