• Identify unmanaged, shared, dormant, or high-risk privileged accounts and coordinate their remediation.
• Support the integration of CyberArk with identity governance, directory, cloud, and security-monitoring platforms.

Governance, Reporting, and Advisory

• Develop metrics, dashboards, and reports covering identity governance, access certifications, JML performance, privileged account coverage, policy compliance, and remediation status.

• Act as a subject-matter expert and provide guidance to technical and business teams on identity security, access governance, and privileged access management best practices.
• Partner with business stakeholders, application owners, technology teams, Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit to implement sustainable identity controls.
• Lead identity security initiatives, drive process improvements, and contribute to the evolution of the organization’s IAM governance framework.

• Experience administering or supporting CyberArk PAM.
• Experience integrating IGA platforms with HR systems, directories such as Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, and LDAP, and cloud and SaaS applications through connectors and APIs.
• Experience with identity technologies such as Saviynt, CyberArk, Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, AWS IAM, SSO, and MFA.
