As an Identity Provider (IdP) Manager for the ICAM (Identity, Credentialing, and Access Management) program, you will be responsible for leading and coordinating operational, engineering, and sustainment activities for enterprise Identity Provider (IdP) services supporting authentication, federation, and access management capabilities:

• This position serves as a technical management and oversight role responsible for coordinating engineering teams, managing priorities, supporting customer onboarding efforts, and ensuring the reliability, security, and availability of enterprise authentication services.
• You will manage a team of ~10+ FTEs in your technical area
• You will work day-to-day with internal and external customers and stakeholders, including operators, end-users, cybersecurity personnel, engineering teams, developers, integrators, and program leadership.
• You will ensure that all activities are performed in accordance with program objectives, cybersecurity policies, regulations, compliance requirements, and operational timelines.

• Provide leadership and oversight for federation and authentication services supporting enterprise and mission partner integrations
• Coordinate onboarding and integration activities for customer applications and external identity providers/service providers utilizing federation technologies such as SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and WS-Federation
• Ensure compliance with applicable DoW cybersecurity policies, STIG requirements, RMF controls, and identity management standards
• Review and oversee system health metrics, operational dashboards, capacity planning, and availability reporting to ensure high availability and resiliency of enterprise authentication services
• Support strategic planning and modernization initiatives related to identity, federation, authentication, and cloud integration capabilities
• Develop and maintain operational documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs), technical processes, governance artifacts, and reporting metrics
• Coordinate with cybersecurity and compliance teams to support audits, POA&M activities, vulnerability remediation tracking, and security assessments
• Work with Agile teams to prioritize operational requirements, customer needs, engineering tasks, and deployment schedules
• Participate in program management reviews, technical exchange meetings, daily Scrum calls, and stakeholder briefings
• Provide mentorship, technical guidance, and leadership to engineers, administrators, and junior team members
• Other related duties as required

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree; technical degree preferred; additional years of direct experience may be considered in lieu of degree
• 7+ years' experience supporting Identity and Access Management (IAM), federation, authentication, or enterprise identity services within large-scale enterprise environments
• 3+ years of technical leadership, people management, and operational management experience supporting enterprise authentication or federation services
• Experience overseeing or supporting authentication across large enterprise environments with products like ADFS, Ping Federate, or Okta.
• Familiarity with federation and authentication standards such as SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), WS-Federation, and PKI-based authentication
• Understanding of DoW cybersecurity frameworks and compliance requirements including RMF, STIGs, NIST 800-53, and Zero Trust principles
• Experience supporting operational governance, incident management, change management, and Agile methodologies
• Proven track record supporting enterprise IT customers in highly regulated environments, preferably within the DoW or Federal Government
