Job Description

Title: Sr. Technical Program Manager - Identity Access Management (IAM)
Location: Remote

Ekman Associates is a management consulting firm that specializes in developing business, digital, and technology strategy, delivering solutions, and addressing human resource demands.

Summary:
We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager with deep Identity & Access Management domain expertise to serve as an execution partner to the Lead IAM TPM within a large-scale enterprise environment managing 100,000+ identities.

This role is embedded within an IAM program portfolio that spans identity platform modernization, legacy system deprecation, employee lifecycle security, and operational reliability -- across multiple engineering teams and organizational pillars. The Sr. TPM will own day-to-day program execution, enabling the Lead TPM to focus on strategic initiatives, cross-org expansion, and leadership engagement across the broader IAM landscape.

This is a program management role, not a hands-on engineering role. The ideal candidate combines strong TPM execution fundamentals with enough IAM technical depth to engage credibly with engineers, navigate identity system architectures, and independently drive complex workstreams forward.

Key Skill Set:

Domain Expertise – IAM
Program / Project Management. (PMP, Agile / Scrum Master certified preferred)

Responsibilities:
Program Execution & Delivery

Own end-to-end execution of identity platform migration programs -- legacy system deprecation, application onboarding, cutover planning, and rollback readiness across multiple engineering teams
Run sprint cadence for assigned programs: facilitate standups, maintain task boards, track velocity, and ensure engineering teams stay on track against milestones
Produce weekly status reports, risk registers, and dependency maps -- delivering draft outputs to the Lead TPM for review and leadership distribution
Track and drive resolution of application migrations involving complex identity provisioning, deprovisioning, and attribute synchronization flows

Cross-Team Coordination

Serve as the primary day-to-day TPM interface with 3-5 engineering teams spanning different managers, orgs, and time zones
Build and maintain strong working relationships with engineering leads and ICs -- own the execution-level conversations so the Lead TPM can focus on strategic and leadership-level engagement
Proactively surface cross-team dependencies, risks, and blockers -- escalating to the Lead TPM when issues require leadership intervention or cross-org resolution

Operational Reliability

Support operational reliability programs: monitor SLA adherence for security-critical processes, track performance outliers, and coordinate root cause analysis with engineering teams
Maintain program artifacts in internal project management tools -- dashboards, task boards, status trackers, and trend reports
Drive follow-through on incident action items, ensuring corrective actions are completed and documented

Strategic Support

Prepare briefing materials, data summaries, and talking points that enable the Lead TPM to deliver leadership readouts and cross-org presentations
Assist in defining program success criteria, SLA frameworks, and "definition of done " for active workstreams
Contribute to program retrospectives and continuous improvement initiatives

Qualifications:

Bachelor''s degree in computer science, Engineering, Network Security or related field.
PMP, CSM, or SAFe certification (nice to have, not required)
8+ years of Technical Program Management experience in enterprise environments, with at least 3 years focused on security or IAM programs
Strong IAM domain knowledge -- hands-on familiarity or deep working knowledge of identity lifecycle concepts across:
- Identity Governance & Administration (IGA): SailPoint (IdentityIQ or IdentityNow), Saviynt, One Identity, IBM Security Identity Governance
- Directory & Authentication Services: Microsoft Active Directory, Azure AD / Entra ID, LDAP
- Access Management & SSO: Okta, Ping Identity, ForgeRock, OneLogin, Auth0
- Privileged Access Management: CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea (Thycotic/Centrify)
- Protocols & Standards: SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, LDAP, Kerberos, FIDO2
Experience managing large-scale platform migrations or deprecations -- transitioning applications from legacy identity systems to modern IGA platforms, including stakeholder coordination, rollout sequencing, and risk mitigation
Proven ability to operate across multiple concurrent programs with different engineering teams, timelines, and stakeholder groups
Strong written and verbal communication skills -- able to produce clear status reports, executive summaries, and technical documentation for both engineering and leadership audiences
Experience with agile/sprint-based program execution and task/project tracking tools (Jira, Asana, or equivalent)
Comfortable working as an execution partner to a lead TPM -- able to operate with autonomy on day-to-day delivery while aligning on strategy, priorities, and escalation paths
Experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ specifically -- connectors, workflows, provisioning policies, lifecycle events, and integration troubleshooting
Background in employee lifecycle management -- onboarding, offboarding, role changes, and the downstream access implications across enterprise systems (HR → identity → access → applications)
Experience in reliability or operational excellence programs -- SLA definition, incident tracking, RCA processes, performance baselining, target-setting
Familiarity with Zero Trust architecture principles and how identity governance underpins them
Exposure to cloud identity management (AWS IAM, Google Cloud Platform IAM, Azure RBAC)
Experience working as a CW or consultant embedded in large tech companies -- ability to ramp fast, navigate complex org structures, and deliver value within the first 30 days
