Act as a key technical contributor in pre‑sales cycles, helping guide clients toward modern identity architectures and accelerating IAM adoption. Assessment, Governance & Continuous Improvement Conduct deep‑dive IAM assessments and produce findings and recommendations across all identity layers. Support adoption of Zero‑Trust-aligned controls, risk‑driven access policies, and identity posture management. Ensure architectural alignment with regulatory, compliance, and security frameworks.
