We are seeking a pragmatic and experienced leader to join our Security Engineering domain as the Senior Manager, Identity and Access Management (IAM) Security.

Your leadership will be defined by your ability to bridge the gap between technical complexity and business value through collaboration with stakeholders in Engineering, Operations, Legal, and Compliance to integrate identity deeply into our global DNA. By driving the transition toward a Zero Trust architecture and modernizing our access models, you will directly influence the security posture and operational resilience of the world’s leading local delivery platform.
