• Implement and standardize cross-tenant access patterns, partnering on design decisions for B2B collaboration, Multi-Tenant Organizations (MTO), and external identity controls
• Lead implementation of Privileged Identity Management (PIM), access reviews, and least privilege access models
• Engineer and optimize authentication and SSO integrations (SAML, OAuth, OIDC) across SaaS and enterprise applications
• Execute tenant standardization efforts, ensuring consistent policies, authentication methods, and governance controls
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex authentication, authorization, and provisioning issues
• Develop automation using Power Shell, Microsoft Graph, Terraform, Azure Logic Apps, etc. to scale identity operations
• Partner with application and platform teams to embed identity-security-by-design into solutions and integrations
• Contribute to and operationalize identity security baselines aligned to Zero Trust principles
• Identify, engineer, and implement improvements to strengthen identity posture, reduce risk, and improve user experience
