The IAM Director defines IAM policies/standards and drives automation, repeatable integration patterns, and measurable improvements in least privilege, SoD alignment, monitoring and audit readiness

• Responsibilities
• IAM strategy, policy and governance: Define and own IAM vision, roadmap, principles and standards (e.g., least privilege, SoD, strong authentication, lifecycle management).

• Evaluate and administer IAM/IGA capabilities and ensure platforms are securely configured and updated in alignment with policy.
• Operating model and cross-functional execution: Clarify shared responsibilities between IT and security (e.g., IT runs underlying infrastructure operations while security defines access policy/compliance requirements).
• Define success measures/KPIs for IAM outcomes (security, employee experience, automation, audit performance).
