Job Description

The Senior IAM Engineer owns and operates Enpal’s workforce Identity & Access Management in Microsoft Entra ID. You ensure secure and scalable access through Conditional Access, a strong admin model, and reliable identity lifecycle (Joiner/Mover/Leaver) processes. You enable least-privilege access via RBAC, PIM/PAM, and recurring access reviews, while supporting secure collaboration and sharing.

Policy Development And Governance

• Define and maintain IAM standards and guardrails for Entra ID (authentication, Conditional Access principles, privileged access, external collaboration).
• Establish and maintain the admin model (role design, separation of duties, privileged role assignment approach) and enforce least privilege through RBAC.
• Own processes for access reviews, exceptions, and evidence for audits related to identity controls.
  
  
  

IAM Engineering And Operations

• Operate and continuously improve Microsoft Entra ID (tenant configuration, role design, groups, identity settings) as the central identity platform.
• Design, implement, and maintain Conditional Access policies (including rollout strategy, exclusions, and safe operations).
• Build and operate Joiner/Mover/Leaver lifecycle processes, ensuring timely provisioning and deprovisioning and reducing manual access handling.
• Own Privileged Access controls:
• Implement and operate PIM/PAM (activation workflows, approval, time-bound access, role eligibility).
• Manage break-glass accounts and emergency access procedures (creation, secure storage, testing cadence).
• Manage and govern identity objects and special cases:
• Guest accounts and external collaboration controls
• Shared mailboxes / mail-enabled objects / Distribution groups
• Service/admin accounts
• Microsoft 365 Groups / Security groups
• Drive operational quality: documentation, runbooks, change planning, and troubleshooting of access/provisioning issues.
  
  
  

Collaboration And Stakeholder Engagement

• Partner with Corp IT, HR, and app owners to ensure identity data quality and smooth onboarding/offboarding.
• Advise teams on access design: RBAC models, group strategy, and reducing direct user entitlements.
• Coordinate with Security and IT stakeholders to safely deploy IAM changes and minimize business disruption.
  
  
  

Awareness And Training

• Provide guidance to admins and end users on secure access practices (MFA, Conditional Access behavior, guest collaboration).
• Create and maintain clear internal documentation for access requests, privileged access workflows, and review procedures.
  
  
  

Qualifications

Technical Skills and Experience:

• Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) administration and identity operations.
• Deep practical experience implementing Conditional Access (design, rollout, troubleshooting).
• Experience building and operating Joiner/Mover/Leaver processes and lifecycle automation.
• Strong Experience running access reviews and implementing RBAC (role/group modeling and governance).
• Experience with Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and privileged access patterns (admin model, break-glass).
• Comfortable working with automation and APIs (e.g., PowerShell, Graph API) to scale IAM operations.
  
  
  

Soft Skills

• Structured, reliable, and detail-oriented with strong operational ownership.
• Clear communicator who can align stakeholders on guardrails and practical solutions.
• Pragmatic problem-solver with a continuous improvement mindset.
