PAM Analyst

The Privileged Access Management (PAM) Analyst Security Engineer
Experience - 3-5 Years
Location - Gurugram

ROLE PURPOSE
The Privileged Access Management (PAM) Analyst Security Engineer reports to the offshore PAM Lead within the CISO Identity and Access Management team. The role will play a key role in ensuring privileged identities are appropriately controlled and utilised based on a defined business need.

This role forms a key part of our Cyber Defence function and will require closely work across key functions within CISO, CIO and third-party partners. The successful applicant will be a strong communicator, with excellent written skills.

The role requires strong knowledge of implementing and maintaining both traditional enterprise PAM technologies (such as Cyber Ark) but also managing cloud identity across multiple providers.

The role holder will have a sound knowledge of both traditional infrastructure and cloud technologies. The role requires working across multiple stakeholders, both internally and across partner infrastructure and cloud teams to ensure complete coverage of PAM controls and verify that the use of privilege is appropriate and in line with Security standards and policies.

The location of the role is flexible, with remote working available.

There will be an expectation to work within the office on a periodic basis and to attend team meetings.  There will also be a requirement to provide regular out of hours standby technical support as Privilege Access Management is a 24
* 7 service.  Think you’d be great at this role, but don’t have all the skills? We’d still love to hear from you. You’ll be joining a team who are passionate in their field, with a great opportunity to further develop your career and make a real difference.
