Requirements - Strong knowledge of identity and cloud security, secrets management, and non-human identity types such as service, application, workload, and API identities. - Ability to assess identity environments and develop practical governance, lifecycle, and remediation programs. - Understanding of least privilege and Zero Trust approaches to identity security. - Ability to work across technical teams, influence stakeholders, and align security initiatives with business priorities.
Nice to have - Experience with non-human identity security platforms, including Oasis Security, Clutch Security, or Entro. - Familiarity with integrations across IAM, PAM, CIEM, CSPM, SIEM, and DevSecOps tools. - Experience governing credentials and permissions for AI agents or other autonomous workloads. - Relevant security, cloud, or identity certifications.
