• Provide first-line support for certificate and IAM-related issues, escalating complex problems as needed.
• Develop and maintain processes and documentation for certificate/key management and IAM operations.
• Provision and deprovision of user accounts and assist with User Access Reviews (UARs) to ensure proper access alignment.
• Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders for certificate renewals and IAM compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with Cybersecurity team members to deploy, tune, and report on IAM tooling, including integration with enterprise systems.
• Track and report key metrics for IAM and cryptographic operations, including KPIs and compliance indicators.
• Develop, maintain, and update automation scripts and workflow (Python, PowerShell, or similar) to optimize certificate/key management and IAM processes.
• Leverage Generative AI (GAI) and automation platforms to streamline data collection, validation, and reporting for IAM and cryptographic operations, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors.
• Ensure adherence to cybersecurity best practices, policies, and regulatory requirements (PCI DSS, PCI 3DS, ISO, NIST).
