• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, dependency maps, risk registers, and RAID logs.
• Lead sprint planning, PI Planning events, and backlog grooming in an SAFe/Agile delivery model.
• Facilitate cross‑team ceremonies including standups, demos, retrospectives, and steering committee reviews.
• Track and report on program health, milestones, and KPIs to senior leadership and the CISO organization.
• Proactively identify, elevate, and resolve blockers, risks, and inter‑workstream dependencies.

• Drive delivery of Privileged Access Management (PAM) programs using Beyond Trust Password Safe, Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM), and Privileged Remote Access (PRA).
• Support initiatives related to Microsoft Entra  (Azure AD) including conditional access policy governance, hybrid identity, and lifecycle management.
• Partner with IGA teams on SailPoint Identity Now configuration, access certification campaigns, and role engineering.
• Coordinate Okta identity platform hardening, including phishing‑resistant MFA (Fast Pass, FIDO2/Web Authn), device assurance policies, and authenticator enrollment controls.
• Translate technical identity requirements into workable project scope, acceptance criteria, and delivery milestones.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for program status across technology, security, compliance, and business stakeholders.
• Prepare and deliver executive‑ready status reports, steering committee decks, and program dashboards.
• Partner with Vendor Management and Procurement on contingent resource onboarding and statement of work management.
• Coordinate with audit and compliance teams (SOX, PCI‑DSS, NIST) to ensure delivery timelines support control testing windows.

• Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Cybersecurity or related experience required.
• 2+ years of direct experience in an Identity and Access Management role.
• Demonstrated experience with at least one major cloud identity platform (Okta, Microsoft Entra ).
• Proficiency in scripting with Power Shell or Python for automation.
• Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools, particularly Terraform.
• Strong understanding of modern authentication and federation protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SCIM).
• Experience with hybrid identity models connecting cloud IdPs to on‑premise Active Directory.
• SailPoint Certified Identity IQ Associate or SailPoint Certified Identity Now Professional preferred.
