IAM Engineer
We are seeking an experienced Identity and Access Management Engineer who will be technically responsible for all Identity services globally and is required to have expertise in Privileged Access Management, Active Directory, SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, and related technologies. The role requires technical breadth and depth, a proven track record of enterprise delivery, and the ability to engage with complex technical topics and drive definitive outcomes. This engineer will work closely with the IAM AD Architect, Identity and Platform Security Technical Service owner, and will help deliver technically appropriate, business‑driven IAM solutions. The role does not include people administration; however, the engineer will provide domain‑specific technical leadership in the IAM space for DevOps, TechOps, and HR teams.
Responsibilities
- Own AD/AAD Identity and access delivery, interfacing with delivery partners (Alcor, WWT, etc.) to ensure fit‑for‑purpose delivery within the IAM space.
- Ensure documentation, change requests, and related processes are accurate and followed through in accordance with SOX.
- Coordinate and facilitate quality‑assurance (audit) escalation issues with delivery partners, the Chief IAM Architect, and QA/GRC in Elanco.
- Serve on various forums as an SME to assist in the analysis of projects and programs, ensuring they are technologically sound, do no harm, and deliver the expected outcomes.
- Establish strong partnerships across the technical community, information security, and application owners to identify opportunities and mitigate risks.
- Deep‑dive key initiatives, when required, to help overcome major incidents, solve complex problems, and realize opportunities.
- Embed security, privacy, data protection, and quality assurance across IT.
- Collaborate with operational teams and chief architects to understand current and future IAM requirements.
- Work with Level1‑3 support teams for IAM/identity and establish operating ability (e.g., obtain credentials, review systems, and apply access controls in Azure PIM).
- Actively build and stay abreast of emerging technology trends related to identity technologies.
- Engage in the community—internally and externally—across multiple channels to share, educate, and inspire.
Qualifications
- Experience in technology project leadership, managing and advancing complex, global environments, and designing and delivering enterprise technology solutions.
- Minimum of 2years of experience across identity, including privileged access management, Active Directory, SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, Azure AD Connect, Conditional Access, and EntraID governance.
- Experience working with public cloud architecture (Azure, GCP, etc.).
- Experience executing large‑scale, transformative strategic plans.
- Demonstrated exceptional facilitation and organizational skills, effectively conveying complex ideas across all levels of IT and third parties to drive alignment and clear strategic outcomes.
