Migration Team Lead; REMOTE

Migration Team Lead

Koniag IT Systems, LLC, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking a Migration Team Lead with a Secret security clearance to support KITS and our government customer. The position is remote.

We offer competitive compensation and an extraordinary benefits package including health, dental and vision insurance, 401K with company matching, flexible spending accounts, paid holidays, three weeks paid time off, and more.

Koniag IT Systems, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking an experienced Migration Team Lead to support a critical Government Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) initiative. This role supports a large-scale Application and Systems Enablement effort issued under an ICAM Enterprise Master IDIQ Contract. The Migration Team Lead will serve as a hands-on technical and operational leader responsible for driving the systematic onboarding of approximately 600 NIPRNet applications onto a centralized ICAM technical stack—leveraging Okta for Identity Provider (IdP) services and SailPoint Identity IQ (IIQ) for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)—in direct support of the Department of Defense (DoD) Zero Trust Execution Roadmap.

The ideal candidate is a technically proficient and operationally experienced leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume federal IT environment. This individual must possess a deep understanding of identity and access management technologies, application integration methodologies, and the ability to lead cross-functional enablement teams through complex, multi-phase migration efforts.

This position requires an active Secret clearance and may require occasional travel to Government facilities. Primary work will be performed remotely.

The Migration Team Lead will serve as the primary technical and operational lead for the day-to-day execution of application enablement activities, directly overseeing enablement engineers, integration specialists, and support personnel assigned to the migration effort. This individual is responsible for ensuring that all assigned applications progress efficiently and successfully through the enablement pipeline—from initial triage through User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and final verification—in alignment with program priorities, contractual requirements, and DoD Zero Trust objectives.

Principal responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Lead and manage day-to-day operations of the migration enablement team, providing technical direction, workload prioritization, and performance oversight across all active enablement work streams.
• Direct the comprehensive technical triage of pre-registered applications, ensuring each application is assessed for compatibility and readiness, and that triage findings—including current identity state, gap analyses, risk registers, and enablement pathway determinations—are thoroughly documented in the Enablement Tracking Database.
• Develop and implement enablement approaches tailored to each application's unique technical characteristics, including self-service and automated pathways for simpler applications and dedicated "white glove" professional services for complex, legacy, or mission-critical systems.
• Oversee the establishment of logical network connections between the ICAM technical stack and target applications, ensuring 100% of user authentication requests are handled via Okta IdP and 100% of user access management is handled via SailPoint IGA in production environments.
• Lead the engineering, development, and deployment of custom tools, scripts, and middleware capabilities to facilitate the integration of legacy applications that cannot natively support modern identity protocols.
• Provide expert technical guidance and architectural recommendations to Application Owners on redesigning access control modules to leverage Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).
• Guide Application Owners through the full enablement lifecycle, including application registration, credential issuance, enrollment workflows, authentication and authorization configuration, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Manage and monitor the enablement…
