About the Role:
We're looking for an IAM Specialist to support and improve the way access is managed across our IT systems. You'll work closely with security, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure that users have the right access - nothing more, nothing less. This includes onboarding/offboarding processes, privilege management, and integrating IAM solutions with existing systems.

The environment includes a mix of on-premise infrastructure and cloud services (mainly Azure), and we're in the process of modernizing our access controls and governance. Experience in a regulated environment is a strong plus.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage user identities, group memberships, and access permissions across internal and cloud systems (e.g., Active Directory, Azure AD, Okta)

  • Support daily operations: onboarding/offboarding, access requests, troubleshooting access issues

  • Maintain and improve role-based access controls (RBAC), access certification processes, and segregation of duties (SoD)

  • Work with HR, application owners, and IT operations to align access management with business roles

  • Assist in IAM-related incidents, audits, and compliance reviews (e.g., SOX, ISO 27001, GDPR)

  • Document procedures, access control policies, and support guides

  • Participate in projects related to IAM tool implementation, upgrade, or integration

  • Suggest improvements for automation and better access visibility

Tech Environment:
Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Entra, Okta
PowerShell (for automation and scripting)
SailPoint (optional), CyberArk (if PAM involved)
SSO, MFA, conditional access policies
Basic understanding of identity protocols: SAML, OAuth, OIDC

Your Profile:

  • Minimum 3 years in IAM or related IT security/infrastructure role

  • Strong knowledge of AD / Azure AD and user access lifecycle management

  • Hands-on experience with at least one IAM platform (Okta, SailPoint, Microsoft Entra, etc.)

  • Comfortable with scripting (PowerShell especially)

  • Experience with access governance, reviews, audits, and documentation

  • Good communication skills - able to work with technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Fluent in English; French or Dutch is a plus

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with Privileged Access Management (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, etc.)

  • IAM experience in regulated environments (finance, pharma, etc.)

  • Certifications like SC-300, Okta Certified, or SailPoint Certified are a plus
