Role description

Grant Thornton INDUS is modernizing enterprise identity with Microsoft Entra ID at the center and Oracle HCM as the source of truth for our workforce. We’re looking for a Director on IAM to lead strategy, architecture, and delivery for HR‑driven identity lifecycle, governance, and Zero‑Trust controls across a multi‑entity, multi‑geo firm. You’ll turn complex identity challenges into secure, automated, and auditable outcomes that improve both user experience and risk posture.

Core platform & integrations: Microsoft Entra ID + Oracle HCM (authoritative HR source with automated Joiner‑Mover‑Leaver workflows).

Skills

What you’ll do

- Own the Entra ID–centric IAM roadmap and deliver enterprise‑scale identity lifecycle and governance, aligned to business priorities and compliance needs.

- Design and operate HR‑driven provisioning from Oracle HCM (OIC/SCIM/Graph) for hires, transfers, rehires, and terminations; enforce attribute quality, reconciliation, and rollback patterns.

- Implement and mature Entra ID capabilities: SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM app provisioning, Lifecycle Workflows, Entitlement Management (Access Packages), Access Reviews, PIM, Conditional Access, MFA/SSPR.

- Lead application onboarding at scale with automation (PowerShell/Microsoft Graph), integration standards, testing/rollback plans, and CI/CD for policy/config.

- Establish privileged access operating model (no standing admin): PIM policies, approval flows, break‑glass, activity reviews, and evidence.

- Embed IAM controls into M&A; onboarding and global cloud initiatives with repeatable playbooks and KPIs.

- Drive governance and audit‑readiness (Access Reviews, SoD guardrails for key systems, attestation/evidence, exception handling).

- Lead a cross‑functional squad (Engineering, HRIS, Architecture, SecOps, ITSM) and manage vendors/partners; mentor engineers in Entra ID Governance and automation.

Other details

What you’ll bring





- 15+ years in IAM with 9+ years on Microsoft identity; 7+ years designing/operating Entra ID at enterprise scale.

- Proven delivery of Oracle HCM Entra ID identity pipelines for automated JML; hands‑on with OIC/SCIM/Graph and attribute governance.

- Deep expertise across Entra ID SSO, SCIM, Lifecycle Workflows, Entitlement Management, Access Reviews, PIM, Conditional Access, External Identities.

- Solid PowerShell and Microsoft Graph automation; KQL/Log Analytics for insights and operational dashboards.

- Working knowledge of Active Directory and hybrid identity patterns.

- Experience in regulated environments (e.g., SOX, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR) with audit response and sustainable remediation.

- Excellent leadership, stakeholder communication, and vendor management skills.

Nice to have

- Experience consolidating or co‑existing with IGA platforms (e.g., Saviynt/SailPoint) while adopting Entra ID governance features.

- ServiceNow request/approval integrations; familiarity with Microsoft security/policy signals that inform auth risk.
