• Integrate IAM with DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines to support secure cloud application delivery.

• Evaluate cloud IAM tools and platforms, manage vendor relationships, and ensure alignment with enterprise architecture and security standards.

• Ensure cloud IAM capabilities meet regulatory and policy requirements, including NIST, SOX, ISO 27001, internal security controls, and zero trust principles.

• Own strategy, design, and delivery of a unified CIAM platform supporting secure, seamless customer identity experiences across all portals, applications, and digital channels.

• Oversee capabilities including customer registration, authentication, consent management, identity federation, and profile orchestration.

• Ensure secure API identity and access management, including token-based access, client authentication, and integration with internal and external digital ecosystems.
