Required Skills and Experience:

1. IAM Technologies Expertise: Proven hands-on experience with IAM platforms such as SailPoint, CyberArk, Okta, and Directory Services.
2. IAM Lifecycle Knowledge: Extensive knowledge of IAM processes, including identity governance (JML processes, provisioning, deprovisioning, roles, certifications, segregation of duties), Privileged Access Management (PAM), vaulting, password management, and certificate/key management.
3. Compute Platform Proficiency: Deep familiarity with platforms such as Windows, Linux, mainframes, and databases.
4. Security Framework Knowledge: Strong understanding of IAM-related security controls, compliance standards, and governance frameworks relevant to the Vanguard project.

Preferred Qualifications:
