Project Manager - IAM

Fusion HCR is Hiring!

Position: Project Manager – IAM / Identity & Access (Okta, Enterprise Scale) Location: Las Vegas, NV (3 days/week onsite) Type: Contract (6 Months, likely extension or conversion to Full-Time) Industry: Gaming & Technology

Position Overview Fusion HCR is seeking a Project Manager to lead a large-scale, enterprise-wide Identity & Access Management (IAM) initiative within a gaming and technology environment. This is a highly visible role supporting the implementation and expansion of IAM capabilities across the organization, including Okta, MFA, access controls, and password management systems. The Project Manager will own detailed project plans and timelines, run Agile-based delivery tracked in Jira, and drive coordination across IT, Security, and business teams to ensure successful delivery — with a strong focus on compliance, access governance, and operational execution.

The ideal candidate brings direct experience leading IAM implementations or large-scale security/compliance initiatives, ideally within gaming or other regulated industries. This is a PM-owned delivery role — not a Business Analyst role and not a hands-on IAM engineering role.
