• Champion compliance and data privacy by designing solutions that meet global regulatory standards (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and internal governance requirements.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to developers and platform engineers, fostering a high-performing and knowledge-sharing team culture.
• Oversee CIAM operations and continuous improvement, ensuring system reliability, security posture, and proactive incident resolution.
• Engage in cross-functional program planning, contributing to timelines, resource strategies, and stakeholder alignment in an agile delivery environment.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and trends in CIAM, identity protocols, and cybersecurity—proactively proposing enhancements to future-proof the platform.

Your Profile:

• 6+ years of experience in identity and access management, with a strong track record in delivering customer-centric solutions.
• Deep hands-on expertise with SAP Customer Data Cloud (Gigya) and associated CIAM capabilities.
• Strong understanding of identity standards and protocols such as SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and their secure implementation.
• Experience designing and managing privacy-first architectures, with knowledge of GDPR, CCPA, and industry data protection frameworks.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives, influence architectural decisions, and collaborate effectively with both technical and business teams.
• Professional certifications (SAP CDC, CIAM, CISSP, CISM, ITIL, etc.) are advantageous.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills—able to convey complex ideas in a clear and actionable way.
• Agile working experience (Scrum, SAFe, etc.) and a mindset of continuous learning and adaptability.
