The IAM Tech Lead (IGA) is responsible for the technical design, implementation, and evolution of identity lifecycle processes, including Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML), supporting core authentication services, federation platforms, and user management functions. The role leads the technical transition from Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) to a modern enterprise IGA platform and ensures the stability and security of the IAM infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain and enhance the existing Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) infrastructure to ensure operational stability until its planned retirement.
  • Drive the technical strategy and execution for migrating identity lifecycle and governance workflows from MIM to a modern IGA platform (such as MS Entra ID Governance, SailPoint, or One Identity).
  • Design, implement, and continuously improve Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) workflows and identity lifecycle processes.
  • Define and enforce identity governance controls, entitlement reviews, and segregation of duties aligned with enterprise security and compliance standards.
  • Architect and implement integrations between IAM platforms and target systems, including HRIS, directories, cloud applications, and on-premises infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with business and technical stakeholders to onboard applications and services to the IGA platform.
  • Lead the migration from Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) to Entra ID and establish standards for application authentication and access management.
  • Maintain and leverage Microsoft Entra ID capabilities for identity lifecycle and governance functions.
  • Define scalable architectural patterns, promote identity governance best practices, and transfer knowledge to operations and support teams.
  • Maintain operational documentation, adapt processes to evolving requirements, and ensure smooth transition of new services into production.
  • Ensure the high availability, security, and scalability of identity-related services.

Requirements

  • Degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
  • Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in technical implementation and engineering within the IAM domain.
  • Experience with modern enterprise IGA platforms such as Entra ID Governance, SailPoint, One Identity, Omada, or equivalent.
  • Experience leading or architecting complex Joiner–Mover–Leaver (JML) lifecycle processes in enterprise environments.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM): management agents, synchronization rules, policies, and custom workflows.
  • Experience integrating HRIS source systems (e.g., Workday, SAP SuccessFactors) into IGA platforms.
  • Solid understanding of identity federation and authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, Kerberos).
  • Experience with Microsoft Entra ID administration and hybrid identity management.
  • Automation experience using scripting and IaC tools (PowerShell, Microsoft Graph API, Terraform, Ansible).
  • Familiarity with Zero Trust architecture principles and cloud-first IAM strategies.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think at an architectural level.
  • Clear communicator, able to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
  • Comfortable prioritising and delivering in an agile, product-oriented team environment.
  • Fluent English (written and spoken); working knowledge of French is a plus.
