Job description

Hiring: IAM Governance & Controls Analyst

Chicago, IL

Hybrid - 3 days/ week onsite

We're looking for an experienced IAM professional with strong audit, risk, and controls expertise to join our team.

This is NOT a traditional IAM operations role. The ideal candidate sits at the intersection of Identity & Access Management, Audit, Risk & Controls and can operate independently with minimal direction.

Key Requirements

• Hands-on IAM experience with provisioning, deprovisioning, access reviews/certifications and PAM
• Strong understanding of IAM controls and governance
• Experience supporting internal and external audits
• Hands-on experience gathering and presenting audit evidence
• Experience conducting audit walkthroughs and demonstrations
• Experience partnering with Risk, 1LOD and 2LOD
• SOX, SOC and/or NIST experience preferred
• Strong communication, organization and ownership

What You'll Do

• Respond to IAM audit requests and gather evidence
• Conduct IAM control walkthroughs with auditors
• Review provisioning/deprovisioning and access certification controls
• Support privileged access governance
• Partner with control owners, Risk and Audit teams
• Identify and support remediation of IAM control gaps

Ideal background:

5-10 years of IAM experience with meaningful audit, controls and risk exposure. Financial services experience is a plus.

If you're an IAM professional who can confidently own an audit conversation, not just provide IAM support, I'd love to connect.
