• You combine engineering and operations with an understanding of architecture and security: You ensure stable platform operation, actively contribute to the further development of our IAM/IAG landscape, and question existing processes – deriving sustainable improvements from operational and support knowledge and developing viable solutions together with business departments, architecture, suppliers, and internal customers.

• You evaluate and design future IAM/IAG components – for example, in the areas of provisioning & access management or compliance – and integrate them architecturally.
• You help shape security standards and best practices and anchor them, especially the principles of Zero Trust and Least Privilege.
• You gather and prioritize requirements together with the business departments, create specifications, and accompany the implementation up to productive rollout.
• You work closely with Product Owners, Architecture, suppliers, and customers and support and coach less experienced team members.

• Independent, solution-oriented way of working and enjoyment in critically examining existing approaches and implementing concrete improvements.
• Very good German language skills and the ability to communicate in English in everyday work.
• Experience with IAM platforms (e.g., Omada, SailPoint, One Identity, Microsoft Identity Manager, or comparable solutions).
• Experience in integrating directory services and target systems (e.g., Active Directory, Entra ID, Exchange, SAP, or comparable systems).
