OVERVIEW: The Manager, Cybersecurity Engineering – Identity and Access Management will drive strategic support, engineering, and operations of critical cybersecurity technologies covering identity governance and administration, privileged access management, authentication, access control, and federation to assure the security posture of the organization’s networks and endpoint systems, all while acting as a security liaison to business and technology stakeholders. Inclusive of the core technology engineering work will be facilitating the audit, reporting, monitoring, and analytics involved with the overarching identity and access management capabilities. This role requires the ability to translate the technology risk requirements and constraints of the business into technical control requirements and specifications, as well as develop metrics for ongoing performance measurement and reporting. The role coordinates the technology organization’s technical activities to consult and assure the security posture of the organization via identity and access management infrastructure while providing regular status and service-level reports to management. An individual with a strong technical background is required, as well as an ability to work with the technology organization and business management to align priorities and plans with key business objectives. The role will be involved in technology planning initiatives to ensure that security measures are incorporated into strategic technology plans and that service expectations are clearly defined. The role will also be responsible for working with business and technology stakeholders to balance real-world risks with business drivers such as speed, agility, flexibility and performance. Expertise in leading project teams and developing and managing projects is essential for success in this role.
