• Partner closely with Product, Security, Infrastructure, and business teams to deliver reliable and secure identity services

• Oversee Managed Service Provider (MSP) performance, ensuring accountability, SLA adherence, and service quality

• Bring structure and clarity to operations through better monitoring, incident management, and continuous optimization

​

Who you are 

• Bachelor’s or Advanced degree in Computer Science, Cyber Security, Information Technology, or a related Engineering field.

• Strong understanding of  identity lifecycle management (Joiner, Mover, Leaver) and Access Governance in regulated and large-scale environments.

• Solid understanding of running production systems (monitoring, alerting, incident response, performance tuning)

• Experience with tools like Splunk, Datadog, Grafana, or similar observability platforms

• Experience managing SailPoint IIQ upgrades, patches, and regression testing

• Ability to navigate complexity, manage stakeholders, and drive outcomes in a global environment
