This role combines strategic leadership with hands-on technical ownership—focusing on modernizing and scaling identity architecture, ensuring secure access controls, and aligning IAM practices with business and compliance requirements. You will report directly to the Sr Director of Corporate Systems and partner closely with Information Security and key business stakeholders.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the architecture, implementation, and ongoing enhancement of the enterprise IAM infrastructure, with Okta as the core identity platform.
- Lead the end-to-end integration and lifecycle management of applications into Okta, including SCIM provisioning and federated SSO setup.
- Redesign and manage scalable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) frameworks to ensure secure, policy-driven access aligned with business functions.
- Collaborate with the Information Security team (10–20% of the role) to align IAM initiatives with regulatory frameworks (e.g., SOX, ISO 27001) and Zero Trust principles.
- Act as a hands-on subject matter expert in IAM systems, authentication standards (SAML, OAuth2, IPSIE, OIDC), and multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement.
- Evaluate and continuously improve governance processes for identity lifecycle events, including joiner, mover, and leaver workflows, entitlement reviews, and periodic access certifications.
- Maintain comprehensive documentation, architecture diagrams, and SOPs to ensure clarity, operational efficiency, and audit readiness.
- Guide and support stakeholders on Okta and other IAM technologies, providing strategic input and hands-on troubleshooting for complex issues.
- Design, deploy, and maintain IAM workflows such as user onboarding/offboarding, registration, and provisioning/de-provisioning.
- Establish and enforce best practices for standardized access control management across all enterprise systems.
- Develop and execute migration strategies for onboarding new applications to Okta, replacing manual access processes with automated, auditable workflows.
- Provide escalation support and mentorship to the broader IT team on advanced IAM topics and complex service tickets.
- Translate business requirements into scalable IAM solutions by engaging stakeholders, removing blockers, and driving consensus around governance standards.
- Continuously align IAM architecture with the evolving business strategy, ensuring agility, compliance, and long-term scalability.
Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement:
- Manage, mentor, and develop a team of IAM engineers, fostering a high-performing, collaborative environment that emphasizes ownership, accountability, and continuous learning.
- Define clear goals, roles, and expectations for team members; conduct regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development planning.
- Provide technical direction while empowering the team to take initiative and innovate within secure IAM practices.
- Drive the hiring and onboarding process for new IAM team members, ensuring alignment with team culture and technical standards.
- Lead team planning activities including sprint planning, prioritization of IAM workstreams, and alignment with business objectives.
- Cultivate strong relationships with internal stakeholders — including Information Security, IT Operations, Compliance, and Engineering — to align IAM services with evolving organizational needs.
- Serve as the strategic liaison between the IAM function and senior leadership, effectively communicating risks, progress, and value delivery.
Operational Excellence:
- Define and track IAM KPIs (e.g., time-to-access, access request fulfillment rates, audit exceptions).
- Oversee change management and configuration control in production identity systems.
- Lead troubleshooting and incident response efforts related to IAM service degradation, misconfigurations, or security exceptions.

- Deep knowledge of IAM protocols such as SCIM, SAML, OAuth2, and OIDC, and experience managing lifecycle events (joiner/mover/leaver).
- Strong experience designing and managing RBAC or ABAC models in enterprise environments.
- In-depth understanding of regulatory and audit frameworks (e.g., SOX, SOC2, ISO 27001), with experience supporting compliance through IAM governance.
- Familiarity with API integrations and scripting (e.g., REST APIs, PowerShell, Python) for IAM-related automation and integration tasks.
