• Partner with Security and Compliance to ensure access reviews align with regulatory frameworks (SOX, PCI DSS, FFIEC, etc.).

Metrics & Reporting

• Develop and maintain dashboards for access review completion, exceptions, and risk metrics.

• Provide monthly and quarterly reports to leadership and compliance teams.

• Measure success through KPIs such as completion rates, remediation turnaround, and privilege reduction percentages.

What You’ll Need:

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Security, Computer Science, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).

• 2–5 years of experience in IAM, Security Operations, or Compliance in a financial or fintech environment.

• Hands-on experience with IAM platforms (Okta, Azure AD, SailPoint, Saviynt, CyberArk).

• Familiarity with cloud access management (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Knowledge of regulatory compliance frameworks: SOX, SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or FFIEC.
