Manage Non-Human Identities: Create lifecycle management frameworks for ephemeral and long-lived non-human identities, including machine identity patterns.
Advanced Endpoint Control: Implement ThreatLocker features, including elevation policies and AI-driven application behavior learning models.
Secrets & PAM: Build enterprise secrets management architecture using HashiCorp Vault or CyberArk, focusing on just-in-time access and automated rotation.
Risk & Compliance: Ensure alignment with APRA CPS234 and privacy regulations through automated controls, continuous monitoring, and executive reporting.
Strategic Guidance: Act as a subject matter expert to guide technology teams on industry-leading identity trends and security standards.

What they are looking for:
Extensive Experience: 5+ years in IAM with 3+ years of deep technical experience in enterprise platforms, specifically SailPoint and Okta.
Migration Expertise: A proven track record of leading complex platform migrations and identity transformations in large-scale environments.
Technical Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of Entra ID, Okta (Workforce & Customer Identity), and API management.
Automation Skills: Strong scripting capabilities in Python, PowerShell, or JavaScript for API integrations and tooling.
Security Tooling: Hands-on experience with application control/endpoint security (ThreatLocker) and secrets management platforms.
Modern Auth: Deep understanding of identity proofing, biometric verification, and passwordless authentication implementations.
Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with Australian financial services regulations, particularly APRA CPS234.
