Supervise technical team members and communicate effectively with senior stakeholders, including CTO and CISO level.
Essential Experience
Strong hands-on experience running and supporting enterprise IAM services.
Excellent PowerShell scripting and troubleshooting skills.
Strong Microsoft Entra ID, on-premises Active Directory, conditional access and GPO knowledge.
Proven 2nd/3rd line support and complex incident management experience.
Experience leading or supervising technical teams.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate technical information for senior stakeholders.
Desirable: Experience with Okta, BeyondTrust, CrowdStrike Identity and Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM).
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong IAM professional who enjoys solving complex problems, leading a team and taking ownership of a critical live service.
