This full-time opportunity allows you to work remotely, collaborating with a team-oriented organization recognized for industry leadership and innovation.
In this role, the IAM Analyst is responsible for gathering comprehensive IAM requirements from stakeholders to ensure that all security and business needs are clearly defined and met. Through close collaboration with IT professionals, you will help design and implement IAM solutions that are not only secure and scalable but also aligned with industry standards and best practices. Your expertise in conducting gap analyses is essential for maintaining compliance with regulatory frameworks such as ISO 27001, thereby protecting sensitive information and reinforcing the organization’s reputation for trust and reliability.
