A well-established organization headquartered in Philadelphia is seeking an experienced Identity & Access Management Manager to lead its IAM program. In this role, you will own the strategy, execution, and continuous improvement of identity and access controls across the enterprise - spanning user lifecycle management, privileged access, authentication frameworks, and directory services. You will lead a small team of IAM engineers and analysts while partnering closely with IT, security, compliance, and business stakeholders to ensure the right people have the right access to the right resources at the right time.
This position is ideal for a seasoned IAM practitioner who is ready to step into - or continue growing in - a leadership capacity. You bring deep hands-on experience with identity platforms and governance processes, and you are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves on a technical problem as you are presenting program health to an executive audience. The ideal candidate is strategic in their thinking, collaborative in their approach, and disciplined in their execution.
The organization is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all employees are treated equitably and with respect.
