Infrastructure IAM - Technical Manager

Function

Cybersecurity

We’re Hitachi Vantara, the data foundation trusted by the world’s innovators. Our resilient, high-performance data infrastructure means that customers – from banks to theme parks – can focus on achieving the incredible with data.

The Role:

We are seeking an Identity and Access Management Technical Manager to lead a team of IAM administrators and engineers focused on on-prem Active Directory and Privileged Access Management
. This IAM Technical Manager role will report to the Senior Director of Identity and Access Management under the CISO of Hitachi Vantara. In this role, the ideal candidate can expect a true blend of management and technical duties. The ideal candidate will frequently engage with other leaders in cybersecurity and across the business to understand and find solutions for the complex needs of our company.

The successful candidate will also be expected to complete hands‑on work with on‑premise Active Directory and Privilege Access Management solutions. This position is ideal for an individual with strong technical skills who is looking to transition into a leadership role and advance their career to the next level without fully stepping away from hands‑on technical work.

• Design and develop a multi‑year roadmap to further mature the AD and PAM implementations.
• Ensure quality operations and up‑time for AD and PAM solutions.
• Lead a team of developers and engineers to grow, support, and maintain the AD and PAM platforms.
• Ensure security best practices are enforced across all elements of the AD and PAM implementations.
• Implement and design key team processes for platform and team operations and management.
• Help design, develop, and drive an automation‑first IAM stack.

• Technical Expertise (50%)
• Technical mastery of On‑Premise Active Directory and/or a Privilege Access Management Program. This includes technical knowledge for architecture, configurations, best practices, and operations. The correct candidate should be capable of:
• Active Directory: managing and administering AD objects, operating and maintaining domain controllers, management of DNS Zones and Objects, and approaches for security hardening and group policy management.
• PAM: management of PAM SaaS solutions (administration, maintenance, and operations), policies related to non‑human identities and privileged access identities, governance for PAM resources, and management of accounts in various types of infrastructure, including servers, databases, network appliances, and virtual hosts.
• Strong/expert level understanding of authentication mechanisms and protocols, including LDAP, LDAPS, and Kerberos.
• Experience working in large enterprise‑scale IAM environments, with more than 20,000 users and computer objects.
• Understanding of IT Service Management processes and concepts, such as Incident Management, Change Management, Problem Management, and the ability to quickly adapt to adhere to those processes.
• People Leadership Expertise (50%)
• Ability to lead project teams to accomplish goals and milestones.
• Excellent people skills are a must – we are looking for a strong manager who is thoughtful in their approach to managing people and working with people on other teams.
• Willingness to invest in more junior members of the team and grow their technical skills within IAM platforms.
• Good written and oral communication in English.
• Self‑driven with an ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and variables in a dynamic and fast‑moving, large‑scale project with tight deadlines.
• Willingness to work in an international team, with project meetings several times a week at odd hours to support the US, Europe, and India.
