Project overview

Job description

The municipality of Amersfoort is looking for a Quartermaster / Functional (Application) Manager IAM

Why this assignment matters

The municipality of Amersfoort is working on the further professionalization of Identity & Access Management (IAM). A municipality-wide IAM program is currently being rolled out, including the replacement of current IAM tooling. At the same time, the functional application management of IAM must be structurally organized. This position does not currently exist within the organization.

Therefore, we are looking for an experienced Functional (Application) Manager IAM who, as a quartermaster, will help build the new management function, help design and implement IAM and management processes, and take on daily functional management.

Your assignment

You will combine the daily functional management of existing IAM applications with the establishment, professionalization, and expansion of the new management function.

You will map existing practices, support the design and implementation of management processes, and help document tasks, responsibilities, and working agreements. You will ensure that the setup aligns with the developments within the municipality-wide IAM program and the future IAM tooling.

In addition, you will monitor the operation and availability of IAM applications, support users, resolve incidents and problems, and implement configuration changes. You will manage changes, releases, and tests, and contribute to secure, stable, and future-proof IAM service delivery.

Where you make a difference

Establishment and professionalization of the new Functional (Application) Manager IAM position;

Support in designing, describing, and implementing IAM management processes;

Preparing for a proper connection and handover to the management of the future IAM tooling.

Collaboration and scope

You will collaborate with the Project Leader, IAM Specialist, functional managers, architects, information analysts, information security, and external suppliers.

The IAM Specialist focuses primarily on the municipality-wide IAM program, including the replacement of IAM tooling. Your responsibility lies with daily functional management and building the new management function. You will support the translation of developments from the IAM program into workable management processes, but you will not be responsible for program management, implementation coordination, or supplier and contract management.

Intended result

At the end of the assignment, daily functional management will be secured, and a workable, documented, and transferable foundation for the new IAM management function will be in place, including established IAM and management processes, clear responsibilities, and alignment with the future IAM environment.
