• Collaborate with infrastructure and application teams to design and implement automated provisioning/deprovisioning workflows, improving operational efficiency and reducing risk.
• Evaluate and implement technical controls for Privileged Access Management (PAM), including session recording, credential vaulting, and just-in-time access models.
• Develop scripts or automation (e.g., PowerShell, Python, API-based) to support IAM operations such as bulk entitlement reviews, access recertifications, and reporting.
• Assist in defining and updating policies and standards for identity governance, ensuring alignment with regulations
• Act as a subject matter expert, advising on secure practices such as least privilege, MFA, zero trust principles, and lifecycle management.
• Support the deployment, integration, and operation of Identity and Access Management platforms and technologies.
• Support and manage access certification campaigns by coordinating periodic reviews of user access across systems, automating where possible.
