  • Ensure timely delivery of incident resolution, service requests, and small to medium projects.
  • Maintain compliance with internal controls, audit standards, and access management policies.
  • Planning & Project Support

  • Contribute to the development of roadmaps and migration strategies for middleware and IAM platforms.
  • Support project delivery by assigning resources, monitoring progress, and ensuring on‑time execution.
  • Partner with architects and senior managers on initiatives involving cloud, integration, and IAM enhancements.
  • Risk & Compliance

  • Support risk management efforts by embedding security and access controls into service delivery.
  • Ensure audit readiness and regulatory compliance for IAM practices.
  • Reporting & Vendor Management

  • Maintain team documentation, dashboards, and metrics for tracking service performance and project outcomes.
  • Coordinate vendor interactions and assist in monitoring costs and budget adherence.
  • Additional Duties

  • Perform additional responsibilities as assigned to support departmental and organizational goals.
  • WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
  • 6–8+ years of experience in middleware and / or IAM technologies, with at least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory capacity.
  • Expert knowledge of middleware platforms (e.g., application servers, integration tools) and IAM solutions (e.g., Azure AD, SailPoint).
  • Strong understanding of IT service management (incident, change, problem).
  • Demonstrated ability to coach and develop staff, manage performance, and allocate resources effectively.
  • Ability to communicate clearly across technical and business stakeholders.
