Overview

The IGA Analyst will play a critical role in strengthening the organization’s identity security posture across corporate, frontline, and operational technology (OT) environments.

  • Contribute to ongoing cleanup initiatives for AD, Entra ID, and connected systems to align with modern identity hygiene standards.
  • Support implementation of risk‑based access policies and automated lifecycle management processes.
  • Support the adoption of phishing‑resistant authentication methods, including FIDO2 security keys and passwordless sign‑ins.
  • Collaborate with MFA and SSO platform teams to migrate legacy authentication flows to modern protocols (e.g., WebAuthn, OIDC, SAML).
  • Evaluate user experience, security impact, and deployment readiness across diverse user populations (corporate, frontline, OT).
• Federation & Access Management
  • Configure and manage federated SSO integrations via Entra ID and other IdPs.
  • Apply conditional access and adaptive authentication policies based on user risk, device health, and context.
  • Coordinate with PAM teams to align privileged session management with federated access controls.
  • Partner with security architecture, IAM engineering, and compliance teams to ensure IGA controls meet enterprise and regulatory standards.
  • Document and report on metrics related to access certifications, compliance posture, and identity lifecycle performance.
  • Provide operational support for IGA platform maintenance, upgrades, and new integrations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3–5 years of hands‑on experience in Identity Governance & Administration (IGA).
• Strong knowledge of Active Directory, Entra ID, and federated authentication protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth2).
• Familiarity with one or more of the following platforms: SailPoint, Saviynt, Oracle IDCS, BeyondTrust, CyberArk, ManageEngine PAM360.
• Working knowledge of Zero Trust, FIDO2, passwordless, and phishing‑resistant MFA concepts.
• Experience applying IGA controls for diverse user types (corporate, frontline, OT).
• Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills; ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.

Additional Skills and Information

• Experience with identity lifecycle automation and role‑based access control (RBAC) modeling.
• Understanding of privilege escalation risks, identity threat detection, and compliance frameworks (NIST 800‑63B, CIS, TSA, etc.).
• Scripting knowledge (PowerShell, Python, or SQL) for data analysis or automation.
