We are building a modern IAM framework that integrates across Entra ID, Entra B2C, SAP, and Workday, aligning with zero-trust principles, automation, and regulatory compliance.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, working closely with security engineers, infrastructure teams, and business application owners to drive a modern IAM strategy at Strada.

• Ensure regulatory compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001) by aligning IAM controls with security frameworks.
• Design and enforce privileged access management (PAM) solutions, securing admin accounts and critical systems.
• Support security audits and identity risk assessments, addressing access anomalies and reducing attack surfaces.

• Hands-on experience with identity automation, PowerShell scripting, and API-based integrations.
• Strong understanding of zero-trust architecture, privileged access management (PAM), and adaptive authentication.
• Ability to collaborate with IT, HR, DevOps, and security teams to align identity solutions with business needs.
