Fitch is seeking an Identity and Access Management (IAM) Analyst to support operational activities and governance of our Identity and Access Management program. The role focuses on control execution, audit readiness, and human/non-human identity management. The successful candidate will partner with auditors and stakeholders to demonstrate control effectiveness of Fitch's IAM/PAM program, drive continuous operational improvements, leverage AI to enhance monitoring and evidence collection, and provide clear guidance to teams on platform features and good practice.

• Provide first-line support for IAM/PAM requests, triage issues, resolve access and permissions problems, and elevate to senior team members or vendors as needed.
• Maintain and enhance IAM control libraries, SOPs, runbooks, and user guides; ensure documentation reflects control owners, frequencies, and evidence requirements.
• Monitor platform health, integrations, and performance; raise and track tickets with vendors or internal teams to timely resolution.
• Operate and administer the IAM program, covering account onboarding, entitlement management, password rotation, session management, approvals, break‑glass, and attestations.
• Evidence IAM governance controls (Joiner‑Mover‑Leaver processes, RBAC, least privilege, separation of duties, access certifications), ensuring consistent documentation and traceability.
• Serve as a key liaison for audit engagements (e.g., SOX, Dodd Frank, internal audits), preparing evidence, conducting walkthroughs, producing reports, responding to queries, and tracking remediation to completion.
• Support onboarding of applications, systems, and service accounts into IAM/PAM, working with product owners, engineering/operations teams to ensure secure and governed integration.
• Generate metrics and dashboards on IAM/PAM operations, control performance, remediation status, audit readiness, and platform adoption.
• Instruct and educate teams and end users on Delinea features, privileged access practices, secrets management, and audit evidence expectations; deliver guidance through documentation, meetings, and enablement sessions.
• Apply AI‑enabled tooling and techniques to improve monitoring, anomaly detection, evidence collection, and reporting within IAM/PAM operations, while adhering to governance and data protection standards.
• Manage non‑human identities and secrets (service accounts, application credentials, API keys, certificates), including vaulting and lifecycle governance. Support distributed vaulting via Delinea external secrets and ensure secure, compliant configurations.

• 3+ years in IAM/PAM operations, IT controls, audit support, or related technical support in a complex environment.
• Direct operational experience with Delinea Secret Server (Delinea Platform) and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud is strongly preferred.
• Experience with audit or regulatory engagements (e.g., SOX, Dodd Frank, SOC2), including evidence preparation, presentation of controls, and remediation tracking.
• Strong governance orientation and practical understanding of IAM/PAM principles: JML, RBAC, least privilege, separation of duties, access certification, privileged session management, password rotation, and break‑glass procedures.
• Familiarity with non‑human identity and secrets…
