Certificate Management Automation & Platform Lead

Company:
Marsh

Description:

The Certificate Management Automation & Platform Lead is responsible for defining and executing Marsh's certificate automation strategy, delivering scalable platforms and integration patterns that minimize manual certificate handling and operational risk. The role drives adoption of automated issuance and renewal using ACME and API-based workflows, embeds certificate controls into CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code pipelines, and ensures enterprise standards are consistently enforced through automation guardrails. The lead will explore AI capabilities that can be applied to further streamline certificate management processes and procedures. It covers all certificate types used in Marsh.

Working closely with Security, Platform, Infrastructure and Application teams, the lead integrates and optimizes the Vaults and ecosystems (including CA connectivity, policy enforcement, and lifecycle monitoring), enabling self-service consumption, improved visibility and reporting, and reliable rotation across cloud, on-premises and application environments. The lead partners with technology teams during incidents to consult on and design long-term automation solutions to root causes.
