Operate and improve enterprise Identity security capabilities with focus on Cerebra mPass (MFA) and CyberArk (PAM). You will stabilize day to day operations, drive onboarding and policy improvements, and prepare the roadmap for Windows Hello for Business migration and future adoption of SailPoint (IGA), BeyondTrust (PAM), and Thales HSM for PKI. Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and audit evidence discipline are essential.

• Monitor authentication flows, troubleshoot access issues, and improve reliability and user experience.
• Prepare and execute the migration roadmap from mPass to Windows Hello for Business, including pilot planning, risk management, and cutover support.

• Execute changes via ITSM with clear testing, validation, rollback, and post change checks.
