  • Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including IT, security, and business stakeholders, to integrate IAM and PAM solutions effectively across all projects and initiatives.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in IAM and PAM to drive continuous improvement and innovation.

  • Strategic Thinking: Ability to think strategically about identity and access management within the broader cybersecurity landscape, emphasizing risk reduction and secure access.
  • Communication: Strong communication skills, capable of explaining complex IAM and PAM concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, focusing on designing secure, scalable IAM and PAM solutions that align with business needs and security principles.
