You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and key stakeholders to deliver operational excellence, ensuring a secure, seamless, and highly resilient identity infrastructure that supports our business growth and digital transformation.

Establish and enforce robust security governance policies, supporting cybersecurity compliance initiatives, risk assessments, and internal/external audits (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, CIS). Partner with executive and technical stakeholders to align the IAM roadmap with overall business objectives, driving automation, operational excellence, and a zero-trust security posture. Requirements: Extensive hands-on experience designing, building, and managing Okta Workforce Identity Cloud solutions (including Universal Directory, Lifecycle Management, and API Access Management) in multinational environments. Deep expertise in federated identity standards and protocols, including SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SCIM, and LDAP.
