• Hands-on federation expertise (SAML, OAuth, OIDC) - has designed and implemented SSO between multiple domains or organizations.
• Experience integrating or governing SailPoint (IIQ or ISC) - identity lifecycle, access governance, or IGA architecture involvement.
• IAM platform integration background - connecting Entra, SailPoint, Ping/Auth0, PAM (CyberArk/Delinea), directories, and applications.
• Directory services depth - Active Directory / LDAP architecture, sync, trust relationships, or hybrid identity design.
• Identity migration or conversion leadership - moved users, roles, groups, or policies between IAM environments with minimal disruption.
• Ability to translate business/security needs into IAM architecture - produced target-state designs, blueprints, or IAM strategy documents.
• Cross-functional IAM leadership - partnered with security, infrastructure, app teams, and business stakeholders during identity initiatives.
• Regulated industry exposure (financial services preferred) - familiarity with access controls, auditability, and compliance expectations (e.g., FINRA/SEC).
