The Role

As a Privileged Access Management Analyst, you will play a critical role in safeguarding Apex's privileged access landscape by owning and delivering end-to-end Privileged Access Management (PAM) services. This includes managing and supporting the CyberArk platform, driving the onboarding of applications, infrastructure, cloud platforms, and privileged accounts, and ensuring privileged access controls remain secure, compliant, and operationally effective.
