• Drive adoption of IAM processes across diverse portfolio companies by influencing stakeholders and coordinating with HR and IT teams.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in IAM, information security, or risk management, with at least 2 years in a lead or ownership capacity.
• Proven track record of building an IAM function from the ground up and delivering an IGA platform implementation.
• Strong ability to manage project delivery, including milestones, risks, and budgets, independently.
• Deep expertise in IAM domains such as joiner-mover-leaver processes, role design, segregation of duties, and access reviews.
• Experience working in complex, multi-entity organizations where adoption is achieved through influence.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with the ability to communicate IAM risks to executive leadership.

What we offer

• Opportunity to shape a new function and define the IAM agenda for a growing group of companies.
• Direct impact on the organization's security maturity and regulatory compliance posture.
• A high-autonomy environment where you lead the strategy and execution of a critical security program.
