• Deep understanding of enterprise IAM tools (SailPoint, Saviynt, Entra ID, Okta, Ping, CyberArk, BeyondTrust, etc.).
• Proven experience implementing an IAM program, including automation and governance.
• Strong knowledge of identity protocols (SAML, OAuth2/OIDC, SCIM, LDAP, Kerberos).
• Experience in construction, engineering, architecture, or other project-driven industries would be considered an asset.
• Experience securing SaaS/BIM/ERP platforms also considered an asset.
• Strong communication skills, able to collaborate across field operations, corporate divisions, and executive leadership.

Success Looks Like:
