About the Job

Our client is seeking an Identity & Access Management (IAM) Systems Administrator to join their enterprise level Information Technology team . This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of IAM operations, systems administration, and automation — where your work directly strengthens the company's security posture

Identity & Active Directory Administration

  • Create, update, and manage user accounts, security groups, distribution lists, and application-level permissions in Active Directory and Entra ID (Azure AD)
  • Troubleshoot MFA failures, sign-in errors, account lockouts, Conditional Access policy issues, and token/credential problems
  • Own access lifecycle workflows (Joiner–Mover–Leaver) — ensuring accurate, timely provisioning and deprovisioning
  • Enforce least-privilege models, proper permission structures, and inheritance standards across the environment

Systems Administration & Technical Troubleshooting

  • Apply Windows systems administration skills to diagnose authentication failures, Group Policy issues, profile problems, and workstation identity sync errors
  • Provide Tier-2 support for endpoint issues where identity, device configuration, and OS-level behavior intersect
  • Identify root causes and recommend improvements that enhance access stability and endpoint reliability

Automation & Workflow Optimization

  • Build and maintain automated onboarding workflows to reduce manual identity provisioning overhead
  • Collaborate with IAM Engineering to expand SCIM provisioning, role-based access control (RBAC) templates, and identity automation pipelines
  • Monitor automation health and troubleshoot failures in the identity provisioning pipeline

Documentation, Governance & Collaboration

  • Maintain accurate documentation, identity records, and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Contribute knowledge articles for the Service Desk and IT partners
  • Support audits, compliance reviews, and IAM reporting requirements
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Security, EUC, M365/Cloud, and Infrastructure teams on identity-related issues

Deskside & Hardware Support (as needed)

  • Provide occasional deskside support for access-related hardware issues: login failures, smart cards/badges, MFA devices, password reset stations
  • Support new hire workstation setup tasks tied to identity timing and access provisioning workflows


What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree 
  • 3–5 years of experience in systems administration, IAM operations, or technical IT support
  • Hands-on experience with Entra ID / Azure Active Directory — users, groups, OU structures, Conditional Access, and MFA/SSO
  • Solid Active Directory fundamentals: Group Policy, OU design, permission inheritance
  • Experience troubleshooting Windows workstation issues at the intersection of identity and endpoint behavior
  • Familiarity with ticketing systems, workflow approvals, and access request processes
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a customer-service mindset
Benefits include:
  • Annual Bonus Program
  • Low cost medical, dental premiums
  • Very generous Paid Time Off 
  • 401K match plus additional Company Funded Retirement Savings Account (even if you don't contribute to 401K)
  • Leadership training program
  • Management that is dedicated to your career success and flexible when life happens
  • Positive/collaborative work culture
  • Stable industry that is growing - no history of workforce reductions
