Security Administrator

** Due to client requirements, applicants must be able to work on a w2 basis

We are seeking an Administrator to support identity and access management activities across a complex enterprise technology environment. This is an immediate need focused on accurate user provisioning, access modifications, terminations, security administration, and remediation of identified access risks across Windows, UNIX, database, and business application environments.

Candidates most likely to secure an interview will have hands‑on Active Directory experience, at least one year of security administration or IAM experience, and a strong record of following documented security procedures. Success requires exceptional attention to detail, discretion with sensitive information, and the ability to work effectively in an audit‑and compliance‑focused environment.

• 1+ years of professional experience in security administration, identity and access management (IAM), or user access administration.
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Active Directory, including account creation, group membership, permissions, modifications, and access removal.
• Experience performing user provisioning and de‑provisioning, including onboarding, transfers, account changes, and offboarding.
• Working knowledge of Windows and UNIX/Linux environments and familiarity with enterprise database platforms such as SQL and DB2.
• Experience supporting authentication and authorization controls, including multifactor authentication and application access.
• Strong understanding of security policies, access controls, confidentiality requirements, and audit expectations.
• Demonstrated ability to follow established procedures carefully while managing multiple requests and priorities.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and professional experience.

• Administer user identities and access rights across Active Directory, Windows, UNIX/Linux, database platforms, and enterprise applications.
• Provision, modify, and remove network, application, email, and system accounts based on approved requests and established procedures.
• Process employee onboarding, transfers, name or username changes, role changes, and offboarding activities while maintaining accurate access controls.
• Review access requests for completeness, appropriate authorization, and alignment with information security policies before implementation.
• Create and maintain Active Directory groups, server‑folder permissions, access control lists (ACLs), and application or database access groups.
• Resolve access‑related support requests involving passwords, account lockouts, expirations, authentication failures, and multifactor authentication.
• Support periodic user‑access certifications, entitlement reviews, security assessments, and internal or external audit activities.
• Assist with secure file‑transfer configurations, service access requirements, server reviews, and remediation of identified security risks.
• Collaborate with technology, security, risk, and business teams on…
