The manager will also help identify where automation, better documentation, and stronger handoffs can make IAM operations more efficient and user friendly.

Management/Leadership: This role provides day-to-day leadership for global IAM operations, guiding L1 and L1.5 support resources and ensuring clear ownership, workload balance, service quality, and accountability. The manager will coach team members, strengthen operational discipline, promote continuous improvement, and build strong partnerships across technology, security, vendor, and business teams.
