Job Description
The Senior IAM Engineer owns and operates Enpal’s workforce Identity & Access Management in Microsoft Entra ID. You ensure secure and scalable access through Conditional Access, a strong admin model, and reliable identity lifecycle (Joiner/Mover/Leaver) processes. You enable least-privilege access via RBAC, PIM/PAM, and recurring access reviews, while supporting secure collaboration and sharing.
Policy Development and Governance:
Define and maintain IAM standards and guardrails for Entra ID (authentication, Conditional Access principles, privileged access, external collaboration).
Establish and maintain the admin model (role design, separation of duties, privileged role assignment approach) and enforce least privilege through RBAC.
Own processes for access reviews, exceptions, and evidence for audits related to identity controls.
IAM Engineering and Operations:
Operate and continuously improve Microsoft Entra ID (tenant configuration, role design, groups, identity settings) as the central identity platform.
Design, implement, and maintain Conditional Access policies (including rollout strategy, exclusions, and safe operations).
Build and operate Joiner/Mover/Leaver lifecycle processes, ensuring timely provisioning and deprovisioning and reducing manual access handling.
Own Privileged Access controls:
Implement and operate PIM/PAM (activation workflows, approval, time-bound access, role eligibility).
Manage break-glass accounts and emergency access procedures (creation, secure storage, testing cadence).
Manage and govern identity objects and special cases:
Guest accounts and external collaboration controls
Shared mailboxes / mail-enabled objects / Distribution groups
Service/admin accounts
Microsoft 365 Groups / Security groups
Drive operational quality: documentation, runbooks, change planning, and troubleshooting of access/provisioning issues.
Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement:
Partner with Corp IT, HR, and app owners to ensure identity data quality and smooth onboarding/offboarding.
Advise teams on access design: RBAC models, group strategy, and reducing direct user entitlements.
Coordinate with Security and IT stakeholders to safely deploy IAM changes and minimize business disruption.
Awareness and Training:
Provide guidance to admins and end users on secure access practices (MFA, Conditional Access behavior, guest collaboration).
Create and maintain clear internal documentation for access requests, privileged access workflows, and review procedures.
Qualifications
Technical Skills and Experience:
Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) administration and identity operations.
Deep practical experience implementing Conditional Access (design, rollout, troubleshooting).
Experience building and operating Joiner/Mover/Leaver processes and lifecycle automation.
Strong Experience running access reviews and implementing RBAC (role/group modeling and governance).
Experience with Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and privileged access patterns (admin model, break-glass).
Comfortable working with automation and APIs (, PowerShell, Graph API) to scale IAM operations.
Soft Skills:
Structured, reliable, and detail-oriented with strong operational ownership.
Clear communicator who can align stakeholders on guardrails and practical solutions.
Pragmatic problem-solver with a continuous improvement mindset.
