About the Role You’ll own and evolve OEC’s enterprise identity platform—the core security control plane that protects everything we do. This role goes beyond administration: you’ll shape architecture, strengthen our security posture, and drive scalable identity solutions across Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta.

If you enjoy balancing security with user experience and want true ownership of a critical platform, this is that role.

• Design modern access controls: MFA, passwordless, Conditional Access, and adaptive authentication
• Enforce least privilege at scale using RBAC/ABAC and automate Joiner/Mover/Leaver (JML) processes
• Lead cloud identity strategy across Entra ID and AWS IAM, including federation and workload identities
• Secure privileged access with PIM/PAM and resilient break-glass patterns
• Detect and respond to threats using SIEM/log platforms; lead identity-related incident investigations
• Own SOC 2 identity controls including access reviews, certifications, and audit readiness
• Act as a subject matter expert: build architecture diagrams, runbooks, and integration standards

What You Bring

• 7+ years of hands-on IAM experience in enterprise environments
• Deep expertise across Active Directory, Entra ID, and Okta
• Experience designing hybrid identity architectures and modern access strategies
• Strong background in identity security, incident response, and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, NIST, ISO)
• Proven ability to own and evolve platforms, not just support them

Technical Skills You don’t need everything, but strong experience in most of the below:

• Active Directory: domains, forests, GPOs, Kerberos, LDAP
• Microsoft Entra ID: Conditional Access, MFA, Identity Protection, PIM, Entra Connect
• Okta: SSO, lifecycle management, integrations, federation, Workflows
• Protocols: SAML, OAuth 2.0, OIDC
• Access Models: RBAC/ABAC, entitlement design, JML automation
• Privileged Access: PIM, PAM, break-glass strategies
• Cloud IAM: AWS IAM, federated identity, cross-platform trust
• Security Monitoring: SIEM tools (Sentinel, Splunk), Entra & Okta logs
• IGA Tools: SailPoint, Saviynt, or Entra ID Governance
• PAM Tools: CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Delinea
• Automation: SCIM provisioning, scripting (PowerShell required)
• Familiarity with AI-assisted scripting/tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude) is a plus
• External identity (B2B): guest access, federation, Entra External ID

How You Work

• Communicate clearly and constructively—even in high-pressure situations
• Adapt quickly as priorities shift in a fast-moving environment
• Thrive in a remote-first, highly autonomous team

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Relevant certifications preferred: SC-300, AZ-500, Okta Certified Professional/Admin

Additional Details

• Remote role (U.S.-based) with collaboration across global teams
• Occasional travel (potentially international)
• Camera-on participation expected for key meetings

Why This Role This is a high-impact, high-ownership position where you’ll directly influence the security and scalability of a growing enterprise platform. You won’t just maintain systems—you’ll design, improve, and lead.
