Job summary

Advisory Solutions is a client-facing IT consulting firm seeking an identity-focused engineer to own the technical relationship with clients across identity environments, primarily Okta and Entra ID. You will design lifecycle automation, drive Infrastructure as Code, integrate identity governance, and serve as the escalation point for identity matters across active engagements.

You will collaborate with Sales, Customer Success, Project Management, and Service Delivery, contributing to identity

Qualifications

• 3 to 5+ years of hands-on experience administering identity platforms in an MSP, consulting, or multi-tenant environment.
• Demonstrated comfort working directly with clients and cross-functional internal stakeholders.
• Deep working knowledge of Okta: authentication policies, lifecycle management, Workflows, Okta Identity Governance, federation, and SAML, OIDC, and SCIM application integration.
• Strong working knowledge of Entra ID: Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management, entitlement management, and hybrid identity.
• Working proficiency with Infrastructure as Code applied to identity. Terraform with the Okta and Microsoft Graph providers is preferred; equivalent experience with Pulumi or another declarative tool is acceptable.
• Solid understanding of the underlying identity protocols: SAML 2.0, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SCIM, and WS-Federation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Responsibilities

• Participate in discovery, kickoff, and project scoping calls as the engineering voice on identity; ask good questions and translate client context into technical decisions.
• Where necessary, attend ongoing client check-ins when engineering presence is warranted; build familiarity with each client's directory, authentication posture, application catalog, and identity governance maturity.
• Partner with Sales during pre-sales and scoping to size identity work accurately and surface risk before contracts are signed.
• Coordinate closely with Project Management on identity project execution: timelines, dependencies, credential handoffs, and structured cutovers.
• Brief Customer Success and the Service Desk on every client's identity environment so the broader team can support clients without single points of failure.
• Work fluidly with the endpoint and automation functions; identity decisions ripple through Jamf, Intune, and the rest of the toolstack, and the team needs you to flag that proactively.
• Contribute to internal weekly L10 meetings and quarterly Rock planning on identity initiatives that affect the practice as a whole.
• Maintain comprehensive runbooks, configuration records, and procedures in Confluence.
• Create and update internal and external-facing documentation for each client environment, including authentication policy decision frameworks and reusable identity standards.
