This role is critical in driving our strategic shift from Okta to Entra ID, ensuring seamless integrations, high security standards, and excellent client experiences.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as the primary point of contact and technical owner for all SSO-related initiatives.
  • Lead the migration of 150+ clients from legacy identity platforms to Entra ID, with limited use of Okta.
  • Collaborate with client stakeholders, vendors, and internal teams to assess, plan, and execute SSO integrations.
  • Optimize and reduce Okta license usage, targeting a significant reduction from current levels.
  • Maintain a security-first approach, ensuring identity solutions meet high security standards.
  • Support and mentor the internal SSO Administrator, acting as an escalation point for complex issues.
  • Audit existing SSO configurations and recommend best practices for identity management.
  • Proactively manage and document certificate expirations and renewals.
  • Develop and maintain detailed documentation for SSO configurations, processes, and client integrations.

Must-Have Skills & Experience:

  • Deep expertise in Single Sign-On (SSO) implementations and identity federation.
  • Proven experience working with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) and Okta.
  • Track record of successfully migrating clients or organizations to Entra ID.
  • Strong understanding of identity lifecycle management, authentication protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth), and certificate management.
  • Security-minded approach with a focus on governance, risk, and compliance.
  • Client-facing experience, with exceptional communication, diplomacy, and soft skills.
  • Ability to collaborate across departments and with external clients to deliver seamless identity solutions.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator, Okta Certified Professional).
  • Experience working in a healthcare or highly regulated environment is a plus.
  • Familiarity with identity architecture and enterprise IT ecosystems.
