  • Lead the DOJ Data Security Program to protect sensitive data through defined access restrictions and validation.
  • Manage and mature access certification programs including campaign strategy, reviewer accountability, and remediation enforcement.
  • Execute role-based access control (RBAC) strategies to ensure least privilege and compliance requirements are met.
  • Oversee identity lifecycle management for joiner, mover, and leaver processes based on authoritative data sources.
  • Act as the service owner for IAM platforms, ensuring high availability, performance, and continuous improvement.
  • Manage third-party vendors by defining SLAs, monitoring performance, and enforcing delivery accountability.
  • Ensure all IAM processes comply with regulatory requirements including GxP and 21 CFR Part 11.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree plus 6+ years of IT and/or Information Security experience.
  • Experience owning and operating IAM governance and control functions, including certification and RBAC at enterprise scale.
  • Hands-on experience with IAM platforms such as SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, or Saviynt.
  • Deep experience with access certification programs, RBAC design, and identity lifecycle governance.
  • Understanding of regulatory-driven IAM controls, including DOJ DSP, GxP, and 21 CFR Part 11.
  • Experience leading IAM operations and service delivery in complex, hybrid enterprise environments.
  • Working knowledge of directory services (Active Directory, LDAP) and application integration patterns.
  • Experience in pharmaceutical, biotech, or life sciences environments (preferred); familiarity with ABAC and modern IAM architectures (preferred).
