- Design and implement secure processes for credential management, including password vaulting, session monitoring, and multi-factor authentication.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align identity solutions with organisational needs and regulatory frameworks.
- Lead privileged account lifecycle management, including provisioning, de-provisioning, rotation, and auditing.
- Investigate and respond to security incidents related to privileged access, collaborating with the incident response team as required.
- Maintain audit logs and generate compliance reports on privileged access activities.
- Monitor and report on identity platform risks, capacity, and operational metrics.
- Drive platform uplift activities, roadmaps, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Provide on-call support as part of a rotating roster to meet agreed service levels.
What We’re Looking For
Essential Skills and Experience:
- Proven experience with enterprise privileged access management technologies (e.g., Azure AD, Active Directory, CyberArk, Saviynt, ForgeRock).
- Strong understanding of security principles, authentication, authorisation, and access control mechanisms.
- Experience managing privileged, workforce, and customer identity services.
- Ability to contribute to short, medium, and long-term planning.
- Self-starter with a proactive approach to problem-solving and minimal supervision.
- Experience in financial services or regulated environments is a plus.
Desirable Skills:
- Graduate degree in Information Technology or a related field.
- Experience with cloud architectures (Azure, AWS, GCP) and virtualisation technologies.
- Proficiency with CI/CD platforms, scripting languages (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Bash), and infrastructure as code tools (e.g., Terraform).
- Familiarity with Agile and ITIL frameworks.
- Strong change management skills and experience with Windows, Linux, and Unix operating systems.
Why Join Us?
- Work with a leading organisation in the superannuation sector, driving impactful security initiatives.
