- Strong/expert level understanding of authentication mechanisms and protocols including OIDC/OAuth2.0 and SAML, and key related security concepts such as MFA, and how these are used with Active Directory, and the ability to trouble shoot issues in this realm.

- Vision to grow and mature our current Okta implementation and drive change towards a Zero Trust, Identity-First architecture.
- Experience working in large enterprise scale IAM environments, with more than 20,000 users and computer objects.
- Understanding of IT Service Management processes and concepts, such as Incident Management, Change Management, Problem Management, and ability to quickly adapt to adhere to those processes.
- Ability to lead project teams to accomplish goals and milestones.
- Excellent people skills are a must – we are looking for a strong manager who is thoughtful in his or her approach to managing people and working with people on other teams.
- Willingness to invest in more junior members of the team and grow their technical skills within the platform.
- Self-driven with an ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and variables in a dynamic and fast-moving, large-scale project with tight deadlines.
