Responsibilities

• Assess current enterprise secrets management and IAM practices across Azure, AWS, on-premises platforms, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, applications, databases, APIs, and service accounts.
• Define target-state architecture for enterprise secrets management, IAM integration, workload identity, privileged access, credential rotation, auditing, and governance.
• Establish enterprise standards for secrets storage, access, rotation, ownership, naming, tagging, expiry, exception handling, and decommissioning.
• Define appropriate use cases for centralized secrets management platforms versus cloud-native services such as Azure Key Vault and AWS Secrets Manager.
• Design IAM access models using Azure Entra ID, AWS IAM, RBAC, ABAC, roles, policies, groups, service principals, managed identities, and OIDC federation.
• Implement least-privilege access models across cloud, application, infrastructure, and workload environments.
• Support application teams in onboarding and migrating from insecure, manual, or inconsistent secrets and IAM practices.
• Integrate secrets management and IAM controls with CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, databases, APIs, legacy applications, logging, monitoring, and SIEM platforms.
• Design and support workload identity, machine identity, service accounts, privileged access, and automated credential rotation.
• Define and implement governance processes covering ownership, support, access reviews, exception management, control monitoring, and reporting.
• Develop practical reference architectures, engineering standards, onboarding playbooks, implementation patterns, and technical documentation.
• Work closely with security, cloud, platform, infrastructure, application, risk, compliance, and audit teams to drive enterprise security initiatives.
• Support IAM and secrets management transformation initiatives across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Define migration strategies, implementation roadmaps, and adoption plans for enterprise secrets and IAM capabilities.
• Establish dashboards and metrics covering secrets compliance, IAM access hygiene, credential rotation, onboarding progress, exceptions, and risk reduction.
• Support secret scanning and remediation initiatives across source code repositories and development environments.
• Promote DevSecOps practices and secure-by-design principles across development and engineering teams.
• Collaborate with development teams across India, the UK, and Dalian to drive consistent security practices and implementation standards.
• Provide technical guidance on CyberArk PAM, HashiCorp Vault Enterprise, machine identity, certificate lifecycle management, and dynamic secrets.
• Drive continuous improvement of enterprise IAM, secrets management, privileged access, and cloud security controls.
