Job summary

COMPANY NAME: Sr IAM Engineer role focused on Okta Identity Governance (OIG) and Okta Workflows, delivering scalable automations across multiple brands and tenants. You will design birthright access, entitlements, and auditable workflows while integrating Slack, Jira, and SCIM provisioning.

This execution-forward position requires hands-on delivery with minimal supervision and strong cross-brand communication.

Qualifications

• 3+ years IGA experience, with Okta Identity Governance (OIG) experience strongly preferred.
• 5+ years in applicable IT or related roles.

• Implement access request flows in OIG, including policies, approvals, and routing aligned to role and entitlement models.
• Build and maintain birthright access and entitlement bundles with brand owners, and keep them current as roles and applications change.
• Develop advanced Okta Workflows automations for provisioning and deprovisioning, including disconnected applications using APIs.
• Where Okta cannot complete automation end to end, build workflows that trigger downstream actions such as Slack notifications and Jira ticket creation to drive manual provisioning and exception handling.
• Implement reliable workflow patterns (error handling, retries, rate limits, pagination, alerting) and maintain operational logging and traceability.
• Onboard applications to Okta and OIG via SCIM, APIs, connectors, and CSV where needed, prioritized by risk and impact.

Job description

Looking for a Sr IAM Engineer on the IAM Team , focused on Okta Identity Governance (OIG) and Okta Workflows, you will build and run identity governance and automation at scale in a complex hub-and-spoke environment. You will implement birthright access and entitlements across multiple brands and Okta tenants while centralizing policy, controls, and workflow automation. You will partner with brand stakeholders and cross-functional teams to define access models, automate approvals and reviews, and deliver auditable outcomes.

This role is execution-forward. We need an engineer who can take direction, translate requirements into working Okta Workflows and OIG configurations, and deliver reliable automations with minimal supervision. Broader IAM engineering experience is a plus, but the core need is strong OIG and Okta Workflows delivery.

Okta certifications are highly desired, especially Okta Workflows, but we will prioritize demonstrated hands‑on delivery in OIG and Workflows over credentials.

What you'll do:

• Build and operate Okta Identity Governance (OIG) and Okta Workflows across multiple brands and Okta tenants
• Implement access request flows in OIG, including policies, approvals, and routing aligned to role and entitlement models
• Build and maintain birthright access and entitlement bundles with brand owners, and keep them current as roles and applications change
• Develop advanced Okta Workflows automations for provisioning and deprovisioning, including disconnected applications using APIs
• Where Okta cannot complete automation end to end, build workflows that trigger downstream actions such as Slack notifications and Jira ticket creation to drive manual provisioning and exception handling
• Implement reliable workflow patterns (error handling, retries, rate limits, pagination, alerting) and maintain operational logging and traceability
• Onboard applications to Okta and OIG via SCIM, APIs, connectors, and CSV where needed, prioritized by risk and impact
• Support SLAs, metrics, and Tier 3 support for complex access and governance process issues

What you’ll be working with:

• Okta Identity Governance (OIG), Okta Workflows, Okta Lifecycle Management
• Workflow-driven integrations with Slack, Jira, and similar tools for notifications, ticketing, and exception handling
• Application provisioning via SCIM, APIs, Workflows, and CSV
• Workday as a system of record

Required Skills:

• Strong Okta Workflows experience building and operating workflow-driven automations, including API-based provisioning for disconnected applications
• Experience integrating Okta Workflows with downstream systems (for example Slack and Jira) to drive manual provisioning, exception handling, and operational follow-up when full automation is not possible
• Advanced Okta administration in multi-tenant environments (Org2Org, SAML, OIDC, SCIM)
• Strong understanding of identity data flows, attribute mastering concepts, and entitlement modeling across hub-and-spoke brands and tenants
• Ability to design approvals and logging that produce auditable outcomes and operational traceability
• Hands on IGA implementation and administration with strong proficiency in Okta Identity Governance (OIG)
• Ability to execute independently from direction and deliver working automations with minimal oversight
• Clear, confident communication across brands, departments, and leadership levels

Required Experience:

• 3+ years IGA experience, with Okta Identity Governance (OIG) experience strongly preferred
• 5+ years in applicable IT or related roles
