  • 3+ years of experience in Cybersecurity, although candidates with a strong IAM foundation and the ability to develop within the role may also be considered
  • 3+ years of experience with Active Directory and IAM solutions
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra or a comparable IAM platform such as Okta, SailPoint, CyberArk, or a similar solution
  • Experience with IAM program implementation and operations
  • Experience with identity and authentication processes, including access management, MFA, onboarding, offboarding, and troubleshooting
  • Experience with IAM-focused incident response
  • Experience implementing IAM solutions in a hybrid-cloud environment
  • Practical interest in or exposure to AI-enabled tools within IAM, Cybersecurity, or process improvement is an asset
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills with the ability to communicate with technical and non-technical audiences
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across technical teams, business units, and organizational functions
  • Curiosity, initiative, and a demonstrated interest in improving processes and operational outcomes

Additional Requirements
