- Author and maintain policies, standards, and operating procedures for access controls.
- Conduct periodic access reviews and support audit evidence collection.
- Maintain inventories of assets and data with baseline configurations aligned to configuration management practices.
- Configure Azure-native monitoring and logging for identity and access events and route alerts to service owners and security teams.
- Validate emergency access use through incident workflows and support audit readiness across access-related controls.
- Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Entra , Azure RBAC, security groups, PIM, and JIT access workflows.
- Hands-on experience with Azure Policy and resource configurations, including enabling managed identities and provisioning Azure AD admin roles.
- Ability to minimize local service key usage through centralized identity control.
- Familiarity with Azure monitoring and logging capabilities and AAA concepts, including integration with approval workflow tools.
- Demonstrated experience implementing least-privilege design at scale and articulating rationale for RBAC in Azure.
- Proven capability to implement and govern remote and elevated access, emergency access processes, and related incident handling.
- Competence in baseline configuration management and maintaining accurate asset and data inventories.
- Ability to author and maintain IAM policies and procedures, perform access reviews, and support audit evidence and control test preparation.
- Strong communication and documentation skills for technical writing and stakeholder coordination.
- Experience integrating identity workflows with enterprise approval systems and ticketing or incident processes (preferred).
- Exposure to application identity design patterns and CI/CD controls for secret management (preferred).
- Background supporting audit readiness for access controls in cloud environments (preferred).
