We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Enterprise Identity & Access Management (IAM) Product Owner to lead the strategy, governance, and delivery of identity security capabilities across the enterprise.

As an IAM Product Owner within the Cybersecurity organization, you will play a pivotal role in defining and delivering secure, scalable, and modern identity services for workforce, privileged, machine, application, and AI agent identities.

• Establish standards and guardrails for AI agent identities, ensuring appropriate identity proofing, credential management, least-privilege access, segregation of duties, and continuous oversight.
• Collaborate with AI, data, and application teams to integrate identity security controls into AI platforms, autonomous systems, AI agents, and agentic workflows.
• Develop strategies to manage and secure the growing population of non-human identities, including secrets, certificates, tokens, API credentials, service accounts, and cryptographic keys.

• Drive the organization's transition from password-based authentication to phishing-resistant passwordless authentication technologies.
• Establish governance and standards for authentication technologies including FIDO2 security keys, passkeys, Microsoft Authenticator, Windows Hello for Business, certificate-based authentication, and biometric authentication methods.
• Partner with Security Operations, Identity Engineering, and End User Experience teams to improve authentication security while reducing end-user friction.
• Develop authentication strategies that balance security, usability, resilience, and business productivity.
• Leverage Conditional Access, risk-based authentication, device trust, and contextual access controls to strengthen identity protection.
• Measure and drive adoption of MFA and passwordless authentication capabilities through defined security and user experience metrics.
