Remote

Our client seeks an IAM Analyst to perform the analysis, documentation, and evidence work that enables an identity program to operate after engineering completes implementation. You will build the application authentication inventory, design the access review and run its first cycle, create runbooks and governance documentation, and hand over processes to named owners. Identity governance documentation does not exist today. This role converts engineering outputs into sustainable operations. You will work paired with three identity engineers on the same workstream.

We can facilitate w2 and corp-to-corp consultants. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
