  • Define and support lifecycle processes including provisioning, rotation, access reviews, and decommissioning
  • Identify and remediate unused, orphaned, or high-risk credentials
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with teams across Identity, Cloud, Security, and Engineering to implement scalable solutions
  • Translate security requirements into automated, enforceable controls
  • Support secure adoption of AI and automation technologies across the organization
Program Development & Continuous Improvement

  • Strong understanding of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform)
  • Experience with authentication protocols such as OAuth, OIDC, SAML, or API key-based access
  • Experience implementing or integrating security/identity tools in enterprise environments
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with machine identity or secrets security platforms
  • Exposure to AI/automation environments and how systems authenticate to services
