• Implement Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) to mitigate identity-related risks.
• Define IAM metrics and KPIs to measure adoption, effectiveness, and security posture.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards such as NIST, ISO, GDPR, DORA
• Serve as the subject matter expert (SME) for IAM across IT, security, and business teams.
• Develop and deliver training programs on IAM best practices for internal stakeholders.

• Mentor junior IT and security team members on IAM principles and technologies.
