Contribute to continuous improvement through identity governance, monitoring, automation, and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
About You and What You'll Bring
Demonstrated experience supporting hybrid identity environments across Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), AWS IAM, and Active Directory Domain Services.
Strong understanding of identity protocols and integration patterns including SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, federation, and synchronisation.

Technical capability in automation and scripting using tools such as PowerShell or Python to enhance identity operations.
Effective communicator who collaborates inclusively with technical and non-technical stakeholders and maintains high-quality documentation.
