TL;DR · Director, Identity Security & Privileged Access Management

The Director, Identity Security & Privileged Access Management joins the enterprise-wide Information Security team to operationalize and drive the global Privileged Access Management program. This role involves architecting and engineering PAM patterns, governing platform exceptions, and ensuring every privileged human and non-human identity is discovered, vaulted, monitored, and governed. Key responsibilities include designing reference patterns like JIT/JEA and session isolation, leading hands-on engineering of platform configurations, and managing vendor relationships while reporting risk posture to leadership. The candidate will utilize expertise in CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Delinea to manage vaulting, credential rotation, and integration across cloud, infrastructure, and security operations teams. This role addresses the critical business problem of reducing privileged-access risk and providing control evidence across a complex, multi-unit architecture by implementing robust governance for service accounts and secrets management at scale.

What you'll do

  • Design and engineer PAM reference patterns including JIT/JEA, session isolation, vault topology, and secrets management.
  • Lead the hands-on engineering of platform configurations, integrations, automation, and credential rotation.
  • Govern privileged-account onboarding standards, exception requests, and break-glass procedures across all business units.
  • Drive the discovery, vaulting, monitoring, and governance of both human and non-human identities.
  • Integrate privileged-access controls across cloud, DevOps, infrastructure, and security operations teams.
  • Manage the PAM platform and vendor relationships while reporting risk posture and metrics to leadership.
  • Remediate coverage gaps and ensure compliance with audit requirements for privileged access.

What we're looking for

  • 14+ years of cybersecurity experience with a focus on privileged access management or identity and access management.
  • Experience designing and driving enterprise or global PAM architecture, operating models, or control frameworks across multiple business units.
  • Hands-on experience engineering enterprise PAM platforms such as CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Delinea.
  • Experience working independently across IAM, security operations, cloud, infrastructure, and audit teams to reduce risk and support control evidence.
  • Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
  • Experience governing non-human/service-account and secrets management at scale (preferred).
  • CISSP, CISM, or a relevant PAM platform leadership/practitioner certification (preferred).
  • Experience managing globally distributed or matrixed teams and services (preferred).
