Global Information Security (GIS) is responsible for protecting bank information systems, confidential and proprietary data, and customer information. GIS develops the bank’s Information Security strategy and policy, manages the Information Security program, identifies and addresses vulnerabilities and operates a global security operations center that monitors, detects and responds to cybersecurity incidents. Within GIS, Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a security discipline that enables the right individuals to access the right resources at the right times and in the right context. IAM addresses the mission-critical need to ensure appropriate access to the resources across increasingly heterogeneous technology environments, and to meet increasingly rigorous compliance requirements.

What you can expect in Identity & Access Management:

The Identity and Access Management (IAM) enablement services and data engineering function within Global Information Security is responsible for engineering, solutions architectures, capabilities development, deployment maintenance and governance administration and assurance.

In this role you will use past-experience and an analytical mindset to identify opportunities and drive improvements in the Access Management experience. The role is focused on the more technical aspects of IAM eco-system on-boarding and management, including the identification of integrations across business applications, technology infrastructure, platforms and IAM capabilities, such as account discovery, IGA, Cloud and PAM.

This role requires you to be result-oriented, business focused, and successful at interfacing and influencing across multiple organizational units, at various levels. Knowledge/experience/exposure with information security topics, including the design, development, testing, implementation or governance of information security practices and solutions, is extremely desirable for this role. You should be prepared to demonstrate your knowledge of access management/risk identification and mitigation/project management skills.

You will be responsible for interfacing with project managers and stakeholders to ensure IAM requirements are clearly defined, fully understood, and ultimately delivered, translating those needs into applied rules tests, and reports that can be applied to ensure sustainability. You will have or will develop a deep understanding of information repositories and the business context of the information they contain, as well as possessing the technical skills to build repeatable, robust processes to test these assumptions.
