• Partner with Governance, Risk, Compliance, Infrastructure, and Application teams to improve privileged access controls and address audit findings.
• Review privileged access requests, policy exceptions, service account access, and Active Directory group structures to identify risks and recommend appropriate controls.
• Drive efforts to reduce standing administrative privileges and migrate users to secondary administrative accounts across Windows, Linux, and endpoint environments.
• Monitor PAM Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), investigate trends, determine root causes, and coordinate remediation activities.
• Support Internal Audit engagements, including evidence collection, issue remediation, and control validation.
• Provide clear executive-level status reporting, highlighting progress, risks, dependencies, and remediation plans.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams to ensure remediation initiatives are completed on schedule.

• CyberArk privileged and service account onboarding.
• Reduction of global and standing administrator access.
• Remediation of clear-text credential exposure through CyberArk and approved secrets management solutions.
• Active Directory nested group and file share permission cleanup.
• SailPoint entitlement governance, ownership validation, and application onboarding improvements.
• Delivery of audit and risk-driven remediation activities.

• Identity and Access Management (IAM) experience, including focus on Privileged Access Management.
• Proven success leading enterprise PAM initiatives within large, complex, and regulated environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with CyberArk, including privileged account management, service account onboarding, vaulting, and remediation activities.
• Deep knowledge of Active Directory, privileged groups, secondary administrator accounts, nested groups, and Windows access controls.
• Working knowledge of Linux privileged access management, sudo administration, service accounts, and SSH controls.
• Experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ and/or IdentityNow, including entitlement governance, ownership management, certifications, and application onboarding.
• Experience collaborating with Internal Audit, Risk, Compliance, Infrastructure, and Application teams.
• Demonstrated ability to drive remediation efforts across multiple stakeholders without direct authority.
• Strong communication and executive reporting skills.

• Experience in financial services or other highly regulated environments.
• Background supporting audit, compliance, and risk management initiatives.
• Familiarity with enterprise secrets management and privileged account governance best practices.
