Senior IAM Engineer

Job Posting Description:

Are you passionate about providing enterprise wide technical leadership and domain expertise for identity and access management? Reporting to the Senior Manager, Infrastructure, you will own the design, implementation and ongoing operation of identity, authentication, authorization and privileged access capabilities spanning our cloud and on-premises estate, with a near-term focus on extending governance to SAP and supply chain platforms.

You will work across a broad technology environment — Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory, CyberArk, 1Password, Sectigo, and a growing portfolio of SaaS and enterprise applications — and integrate identity with core infrastructure platforms including Windows, Linux, AIX, Citrix, VMware, NetApp, Commvault and Cisco UCS. Expertise in identity and authorization services in one or more of Azure, AWS or GCP is required.

As an important member of the LCBO's IT transformation and modernization program, you will contribute to cross-functional continuous improvement initiatives and serve as the champion for identity within the Core Backbone team.

If you are a proven identity professional who wants to take on the challenge of modernizing enterprise identity and data centre capabilities, this role is for you.

Design, implement and manage secure, scalable Identity and Access Management solutions across cloud and on-premises environments

Define and enforce policies for identity lifecycle, access provisioning and de-provisioning, privileged access, and federated authentication — SAML 2.0, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SCIM and WS-Federation

Design and troubleshoot SAML and OIDC federations between Entra ID and third-party SaaS and on-premises applications, including claims mapping, attribute release, signing certificate rotation and metadata exchange

Administer and modernize Microsoft Entra ID and on-premises Active Directory, including Conditional Access, Entra ID Governance, Entra Connect and hybrid identity, and core AD infrastructure services (DNS, DHCP, sites and services, FSMO role placement, domain and forest health)

Implement and operate just-in-time (JIT) privileged access and Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) eligible versus active role assignments, time-bound activation, approval workflows, MFA and justification on activation, and privileged role access reviews

Drive standing privilege reduction toward a zero standing privilege model, including tiered administration, privileged access workstations, break-glass account design and emergency access procedures

Own privileged and credential management across the enterprise using CyberArk (vaulting, credential rotation, session isolation and monitoring, JIT elevation) and 1Password (team and service credential lifecycle, secrets hygiene, offboarding)

Manage the enterprise certificate lifecycle with Sectigo — issuance, renewal, revocation, automation and expiry prevention for internal and public-facing services

Integrate IAM with HR systems, directories, and business-critical SaaS and enterprise applications — including supply chain and warehouse management platforms such as Blue Yonder and Manhattan — covering SSO federation, SCIM or API-based provisioning, and role mapping

Develop and support role- and attribute-based access controls (RBAC, ABAC), least-privilege role design, and regular entitlement reviews and access recertification

Extend identity governance to enterprise business applications, including ERP platforms, with attention to segregation of duties and toxic-combination risk

Manage non-human identity — service accounts, managed identities, service principals and workload identity federation — including ownership, rotation and lifecycle

Partner with security, infrastructure, HR and business teams so that access is both secure and productive

Automate identity workflows and reporting using PowerShell, Microsoft Graph and IGA tooling; comfort across multi-vendor identity platforms is expected — this is not a single-vendor environment

Support audits, respond to findings and champion compliance across PCI DSS, NIST and internal risk frameworks

University degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math or a related field

10+ years of experience designing complex infrastructure platforms

5+ years experience leading projects, overseeing delivery and coaching engineers

5–10 years of experience in Identity and Access Management roles in enterprise or hybrid environments

A strong identity as a security-first technologist who understands that IAM is about both safety and simplicity

Hands-on expertise with platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, SailPoint, CyberArk, Ping or ForgeRock

Experience with federated identity (SAML, OIDC, OAuth), directory services (LDAP and Active Directory) and privileged access management strategies

Experience with PKI, DHCP and DNS

Scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Python, Terraform) to support IAM and IGA orchestration

Familiarity with compliance and governance frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, CIS and PCI DSS

A passion for making security usable — balancing strong controls with seamless user experience

Nice to have

SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance (IAG) access requests, access analysis, role design, privileged access

SAP S/4HANA authorization concepts (PFCG roles, business roles, derived roles) and how they map to enterprise identity governance

SAP Identity Provisioning Service (IPS) / Identity Authentication Service (IAS)

Experience federating and governing access for retail or supply chain platforms such as Blue Yonder, Manhattan Associates, or comparable WMS/ERP applications

Relevant certifications: SC-300, SC-100, AZ-500, CISSP, or CyberArk Defender/Sentry

Familiarity with compliance and governance frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, CIS, or PCI-DSS.

A passion for making security usable—balancing strong controls with seamless user experience.
