• Access provisioning and deprovisioning effectiveness
• Access certifications and review health
• Privileged access risk and visibility
• IAM control effectiveness and risk trends
• Build automated data pipelines to ingest IAM data from source systems
• Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards for:
• IAM leadership (detailed operational reporting)
• Executive leadership (high-level, risk-focused dashboards)
• Drive reduction of manual reporting through automation, enabling on-demand and near real-time reporting
• Partner in a dotted-line capacity with the Information Security Metrics/KPI team to ensure IAM data is:
• Complete
• Accurate
• Delivered at agreed-upon intervals
• Translate IAM data into clear narratives that explain trends, risks, and business impact
• Present IAM metrics and insights to senior leadership and executive stakeholders

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience
• 5–7+ years of experience in IT Security, IAM, Security Metrics, or related roles
• Hands-on experience designing and maintaining metrics, KPIs, and KRIs within IT Security

• Advanced, hands-on experience with Power BI
• Intermediate to advanced experience with Microsoft Excel
• Proven ability to present metrics and dashboards to executive leadership
• Strong ability to work independently, take ownership of ambiguous problems, and deliver results with minimal direction

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building an IAM metrics program from the ground up
• Strong understanding of IAM concepts, including:
• Identity lifecycle management
• Access governance and certifications
• Privileged access management
• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Experience automating data ingestion using SQL, APIs, exports, or similar methods
• Experience working in regulated enterprise environments (healthcare, pharma, financial services)
• Experience integrating IAM metrics into broader enterprise security or risk reporting
