Overview

Steampunk is seeking a Cybersecurity / ICAM SME to coordinate identity, credential, and access management program maturation for a large federal client, providing program integration support across the four ICAM pillars without directing implementation.

Responsibilities

• Support development and maintenance of a comprehensive ICAM Program and Product Strategy, including policy and technology roadmaps
• Establish program tracking tools, milestone registries, and dependency maps
• Coordinate across the client and its implementation partners to integrate workstreams and resolve dependencies — explicitly without owning or directing implementation execution
• Facilitate stakeholder focus groups annually to define current-state/future-state ICAM vision and inform a prioritized improvement roadmap
• Develop and deliver quarterly system owner communications and engagement activities, ICAM program status reports, and leadership dashboards with risk summaries and recommended actions
• Maintain compliance alignment across all coordination artifacts with HSPD-12, M-19-17, CIO Directive 25-03, NIST 800-63, and FICAM requirements

Qualifications

• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance
• Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of total experience
• 8+ years of identity, credential, and access management experience, including program-level (not just technical implementation) roles
• Demonstrated knowledge of HSPD-12, CIO Directive 25-03, NIST 800-63, and FICAM requirements
• Strong cross-organizational coordination skills, including working with multiple implementation partners
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience producing status reports and executive-facing dashboards

Preferred:

• Experience specifically in a coordination/PMO capacity rather than hands-on IAM engineering
• Federal ICAM program experience
• CISSP or equivalent cybersecurity/identity management certification
