Work Location: Reading or Newbury (hybrid 2 to 3 days a week)

This is an immediate and urgent requirement hence immediate joiners preferred.

Required experience & skills

  • 15+ years in Identity and Access Management, specifically in Cyber Ark PAM architecture and design.
  • Deep hands-on knowledge of Cyber Ark EPV, PVWA, CPM, PSM, AAM/CCP, and Vault architecture across on-prem and Privilege Cloud deployments.
  • Proven experience leading a Cyber Ark version migration (v10/v11/v12 → v13/v14) at enterprise scale.
  • Strong working knowledge of SAML 2.0 and OIDC federation design, including experience integrating Cyber Ark PVWA with an enterprise IdP (Entra , Okta, or equivalent).
  • Experience with credential provider architectures (CP, CCP) and application onboarding at scale (100+ application estates).
  • Familiarity with MFA migration projects (e.g. RSA SecurID to a cloud MFA/Conditional Access model).
  • Experience operating in regulated environments (financial services, telecom, or government) with formal change control and audit evidence requirements.
  • Strong client-facing communication skills; able to present architecture to both technical and executive stakeholders.

Migration & vault architecture

  • Design the end-to-end migration architecture from Cyber Ark , covering entity extraction (REST API primary, PACLI fallback), transformation, reconciliation, and staged loading into the target vault.
  • Define the staged-ingestion model: disabled import → CPM soft-verification → dual-run mirroring → forced rotation at cutover — ensuring no credential is exposed to a script or human during migration.
  • Produce migration runbooks, RAID logs, and effort-sizing models across Safes, Accounts, Platforms, and Policies.
  • Lead discovery to segment the dependent applications by integration pattern (CP agent, CCP centralized, Conjur, direct SSO) — the primary driver of onboarding sequencing and timeline risk.
  • Design the CP/CCP re-onboarding approach, including AppID re-provisioning, certificate/mTLS re-issuance, and phased cutover waves.
  • Define rollback and dual-run strategy per wave, including the read-only fallback window on the source vault.

Identity federation & MFA

  • Design PVWA federation to Entra  SAML/OIDC, including claims mapping from Entra groups to Cyber Ark Vault Users and Safe membership.
  • Architect the RSA SecurID → Entra MFA migration as a re-enrolment exercise, covering Conditional Access policy design and non-web/legacy client bridging (Private Ark, PACLI, RADIUS-dependent flows).
  • Ensure High Side / Low Side segregation is preserved across all federation and migration data flows, with no entitlement detail crossing the DMZ boundary.

Governance, compliance & stakeholder leadership

  • Own architecture decisions and trade-offs; present designs to client security, compliance, and PAM leadership for sign-off.
  • Ensure all migration and access-control designs produce audit evidence sufficient for TSA compliance reporting.
  • Evaluate and position complementary tooling (e.g. Hydden for continuous identity discovery) against native Cyber Ark capability.
  • Define acceptance criteria and go/no-go gates for pilot and production wave sign-off.
  • Mentor and provide technical direction to Cyber Ark Senior Engineers delivering the build.
