Skillset / Experience:
We are seeking an experienced Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineering Manager to lead enterprise identity security initiatives within a large, complex technology environment. This individual will oversee IAM engineering operations, guide technical teams, and drive improvements across identity governance, access management, authentication, and security integrations.
The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation in SailPoint, broad experience across IAM technologies, and proven success leading engineering teams. This position requires someone who can operate at both a strategic and technical level, translating business requirements into scalable identity solutions while providing direction to engineers and cross-functional stakeholders.
This is not a hands-on development position. We are looking for a technical leader who understands IAM architecture, can evaluate complex integrations, troubleshoot critical issues, and develop a long-term vision for enterprise identity management.
Key Responsibilities

- Lead and mentor a team of IAM engineers and analysts responsible for enterprise identity security platforms and integrations.
- Develop and execute IAM strategies that improve security, automation, operational efficiency, and scalability.
- Provide technical oversight across SailPoint, CyberArk, Okta, Active Directory, and related identity technologies.
- Partner with business leaders, application owners, cybersecurity teams, and engineering groups to identify IAM requirements and implement solutions.
- Evaluate existing IAM processes, identify technology gaps, and establish improvement initiatives.
- Oversee platform capacity, licensing, vendor relationships, and resource planning to support continued enterprise growth.
- Lead technical investigations into complex IAM incidents, partnering with engineers and business analysts to identify root causes and implement permanent solutions.
SailPoint & Identity Governance
- Serve as a technical leader for SailPoint IdentityIQ and Identity Security Cloud environments.
- Oversee application onboarding, identity provisioning, access certifications, and identity lifecycle automation.
- Guide the design and optimization of Joiner/Mover/Leaver (JML) processes, role-based access controls, and entitlement management.
- Partner with application and engineering teams to integrate enterprise applications into identity governance frameworks.
- Evaluate automation opportunities to streamline access requests, approvals, provisioning, and deprovisioning.
- Ensure SailPoint solutions align with business requirements, security standards, and enterprise architecture.
- Provide technical guidance on complex SailPoint integrations without serving as the primary developer.
Enterprise IAM Engineering & Integrations
- Oversee identity and access management capabilities across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
- Provide architectural direction for Active Directory, Okta, CyberArk, and certificate management services.
- Guide the integration of IAM platforms with enterprise applications, HR systems, IT service management tools, and cloud technologies.
- Oversee authentication and access security capabilities, including SSO, MFA, privileged access management, and directory services.
- Establish technical standards and best practices for secure, scalable IAM implementations.
- Support the modernization of existing identity platforms and the adoption of new technologies.
Security, Compliance & Operational Excellence
- Ensure IAM processes and platforms support enterprise security policies, regulatory requirements, and audit expectations.
- Identify access-related vulnerabilities, control gaps, and operational risks while developing appropriate remediation strategies.
- Support access reviews, compliance assessments, and audit activities.
- Establish operational metrics and reporting to evaluate IAM platform performance, reliability, and security.
- Collaborate with cybersecurity and infrastructure leadership to strengthen identity controls and reduce organizational risk.
- Drive continuous improvement across IAM engineering, incident management, and service delivery.
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of formal IT or cybersecurity leadership experience.
- 5+ years of experience in Identity & Access Management, including experience supporting complex enterprise environments.
- Proven experience leading IAM engineers, analysts, or technical teams.
- Strong technical expertise with SailPoint IdentityIQ and/or Identity Security Cloud, including identity governance, provisioning, integrations, and lifecycle management.

- Experience overseeing enterprise application onboarding and identity automation initiatives.
- Strong understanding of IAM architecture, identity governance, privileged access management, and authentication technologies.
- Ability to evaluate technical designs, guide engineering teams, and troubleshoot complex identity-related issues.
- Experience developing IAM roadmaps, managing priorities, and supporting enterprise technology initiatives.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical engineering teams and nontechnical business stakeholders.
- Understanding of security frameworks, access controls, compliance requirements, and risk management.
- Experience managing vendor relationships, platform licensing, or technology investments.
- Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent professional experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience supporting IAM environments with hundreds or thousands of integrated applications.
- Familiarity with PKI, certificate management, and hybrid directory architectures.
- Experience leading IAM modernization, automation, or large-scale application integration initiatives.
