The Role

At Kyndryl, we are looking for a Senior IAM Consultant to lead strategic identity and access management initiatives and deliver secure, scalable Zero Trust solutions for our enterprise customers.
This role is ideal for a security expert with hands-on experience and a strong advisory background, ready to support clients through the full lifecycle of IAM programs—from assessment and roadmap to deployment and optimization.

Key Responsibilities

IAM and Zero Trust Delivery: Lead the design and implementation of IAM strategies and solutions, including authentication, authorization, identity governance, privileged access management (PAM), MFA, SSO, federation, and lifecycle management. Integrate these solutions within Zero Trust architectures.

Advisory Engagements: Conduct maturity assessments, gap analyses, and roadmap development for IAM transformation programs. Provide clients with best practices in identity security, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation.

Hands-on Implementation: Deploy IAM tools and platforms such as SailPoint, Okta, Azure AD, Ping, CyberArk, or ForgeRock, integrating them with enterprise infrastructure and cloud environments.

Security Architecture Contribution: Collaborate with cloud, application, and infrastructure teams to ensure secure IAM integration into hybrid environments, DevSecOps pipelines, and IT modernization initiatives.

Client Enablement & Support: Support pre-sales activities, contribute to proposals, and deliver workshops and technical presentations to help clients understand the value and implementation of IAM solutions.

Threat Protection & Governance: Contribute to IAM-related security operations, including identity analytics, access reviews, risk scoring, and anomaly detection. Align implementations with compliance standards such as NIST, ISO 27001, or GDPR.

Continuous Improvement: Stay updated on evolving IAM technologies, threats, and industry trends. Share insights and innovations across projects and with the internal community of experts.
