We are looking for an experienced IAM/Okta SME to lead identity and access strategy for a dynamic enterprise environment in San Francisco, California. This position will focus on designing secure, scalable Okta-based solutions that strengthen access governance, streamline user lifecycle management, and improve the overall authentication experience. The ideal candidate will combine deep technical knowledge of identity architecture with a practical, service-oriented approach to delivering reliable solutions across a fast-moving organization.

• Design and enhance enterprise identity architecture centered on Okta to support secure, scalable access across business applications and platforms.

• Build automated lifecycle processes for onboarding, role changes, and offboarding to reduce manual effort and improve operational consistency.

• Develop and maintain integrations between Okta and SaaS or internal systems to enable seamless authentication and authorization workflows.

• Define access models, governance standards, and architectural patterns that align with security expectations and business needs.

• Partner with infrastructure and application teams to implement identity solutions across virtualized server environments, enterprise platforms, and cloud-connected services.

• Create and optimize Okta Workflows and related automation to improve efficiency, accuracy, and policy enforcement.

• Support Group Policy Object alignment and directory-related configurations where identity controls intersect with endpoint or access management.

• Provide technical guidance and responsive support to stakeholders, ensuring a high-quality customer experience while resolving IAM-related issues.
