About the Role

We are looking for a senior, self-sufficient IT professional to own EU IT operations and lead our identity and access management program. This is a high-trust individual contributor role — you will be the go-to person for IT across the region, operating independently without a team beneath you, and with significant influence over how we secure and scale our infrastructure.

You will combine deep IAM expertise with hands-on EU IT support ownership — managing our Microsoft environment, Atlassian stack, and AI tooling including Claude. The right person is someone who can diagnose a complex Entra ID configuration issue in the morning, ship a laptop to a new hire in the afternoon, and drive a process improvement initiative by end of week — without needing direction.

Key Responsibilities

Identity & Access Management

• Own the full IAM program: SSO, MFA, conditional access, privileged access management (PAM), and identity lifecycle (joiner/mover/leaver) across SaaS and internal applications.
• Architect and maintain integrations using SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SCIM; administer Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) as the central identity provider.
• Design and enforce RBAC/ABAC access models; lead access reviews and certification campaigns.
• Build automation and scripting (PowerShell, Python) to reduce manual identity operations and eliminate orphaned or excessive access.
• Define IAM policies and procedures; ensure compliance alignment with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR as applicable.
• Monitor identity-related security events, investigate anomalies, and lead access-related incident response.

EU IT Operations & Support

• Serve as the primary IT point of contact for all EU employees — owning end-to-end support escalation, resolution, and documentation.
• Administer the Microsoft 365 full suite: Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, Defender, and Purview.
• Manage the Atlassian stack (Jira, Confluence) at an admin level — configuration, user management, integrations, and workflow optimization.
• Drive adoption and governance of AI productivity tooling including Claude; support employees in using AI tools effectively and securely.
• Own hardware lifecycle: procurement, imaging, configuration, shipping, asset tracking, and secure decommissioning.
• Lead IT onboarding and offboarding — new hires receive working equipment and correct access on day one; departing employees are fully offboarded promptly.
• Maintain MDM/endpoint management (Intune or Jamf) and device patching across the EU fleet.
• Build and maintain a self-service knowledge base; track support metrics and drive systemic fixes over one-off resolutions.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of IT experience, with at least 3 years focused on identity and access management or security engineering.
• Deep hands-on expertise with Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD — conditional access, PIM, identity governance, and Defender integration.
• Strong working knowledge of authentication and federation protocols: SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, LDAP.
• Proven experience administering the Microsoft 365 full suite, including Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, and Defender.
• Atlassian administration experience (Jira and Confluence) — user management, integrations, workflow configuration.
• Scripting and automation ability (PowerShell required; Python a plus) for identity workflows and IT operations.
• Demonstrated experience with endpoint/device management (Intune or Jamf) and IT asset tracking.
• Practical familiarity with AI productivity tools, particularly Claude — comfortable using, configuring, and governing AI in a business context.
• Ability to operate independently, manage competing priorities, and make sound judgement calls without close supervision.
• Strong communication skills in English; Spanish language skills a significant plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with privileged access management tools (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Delinea).
• Knowledge of Zero Trust architecture principles.
• Familiarity with identity governance platforms (SailPoint, Saviynt).
• Experience supporting audit and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST).
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or equivalent practical experience.
