Senior IAM Project Manager

We are Systematix and we are currently looking for a Senior IT Project Manager – Identity & Access Migration to lead complex enterprise identity migration initiatives for one of our global Life Sciences and Technology partners.

Our client is a global leader in science and technology, operating across a diverse network of businesses and geographically distributed technology environments. As part of ongoing enterprise transformation initiatives, the organization is working to standardize and simplify key business and technology capabilities across its global operations.

The Senior IT Project Manager will lead large-scale, complex identity and access migration work streams required to support these initiatives. This includes understanding how users, applications, identities, access permissions, infrastructure, and services operate across organizational boundaries and ensuring successful transitions to future-state identity and access models.

Working within an established enterprise project management framework, the successful candidate will drive delivery from initial discovery and assessment through migration planning, implementation, validation, adoption, and operational handover.

This role is specifically focused on managing complex identity and access migrations rather than the broader business centralization projects. The successful candidate must bring strong technical awareness, excellent stakeholder management capabilities, and the ability to independently drive complex, cross-functional initiatives to completion.

• Identify and manage dependencies between identity platforms, enterprise applications, infrastructure, networking, and service operations.
• Facilitate cross-functional planning sessions, technical discussions, stakeholder meetings, and decision-making activities.
• Drive migration readiness activities, including stakeholder alignment, technical preparation, testing, validation, and operational planning.
• Coordinate migration execution, cutover planning, issue resolution, and post-migration stabilization.
• Proactively investigate issues, engage technical subject matter experts, and drive actions through to resolution.
• Maintain project governance, including schedules, RAID logs, status reporting, decision tracking, and executive communications.
• Identify and mitigate technical, operational, business, and delivery risks associated with complex identity migrations.
• Work across multiple business units, operating companies, geographic locations, and stakeholder groups to ensure coordinated execution.
• Support organizational change and stakeholder communications associated with identity and access transitions.
• Ensure migration outcomes align with enterprise security, access governance, and operational requirements.
• Coordinate successful handover of migrated services and solutions to established support and operational teams.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to repeatable approaches, documentation, and best practices for future identity migration initiatives.

• Significant experience managing complex enterprise IT projects and technology migration initiatives.
• Demonstrated experience leading Identity and Access Management, identity migration, access transformation, or closely related enterprise infrastructure projects.
• Strong understanding of enterprise identity and access concepts, including authentication, authorization, user provisioning, access management, and identity lifecycle processes.
