• Integration: Lead the integration of all three platforms (Okta UD, Entra ID, AD) with critical enterprise applications (M365, SAP, Salesforce, custom apps) using SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SCIM.

Required Experience (7+ Years)

• Proven hands‑on architectural design and implementation experience across ALL three core platforms:
  • Okta Identity Cloud: SSO, MFA, LCM, Universal Directory.
  • Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD): Conditional Access, Identity Protection, B2B/B2C.
  • Microsoft Active Directory: Forest/Domain management, Trusts, GPOs, and migration.
• Expertise in Hybrid Identity Architecture and complex federation/trust models.
• Strong understanding of Zero Trust principles and Privileged Identity Management (PIM).
• Familiarity with IAM automation/scripting (PowerShell, Graph/Okta APIs).
• Experience in M&A or large‑scale identity modernization projects is highly regarded.
