• Manage user access, permissions, and authentication standards across internal systems.

• Working knowledge of cloud platform security (AWS, GCP or similar).
• Understanding of identity and access management, including SSO and MFA enforcement.
• Familiarity with SOC 2 control frameworks or a strong willingness to learn quickly.
