ROLE:

Cloud-Specific IAM Knowledge (Required):

AWS IAM

  • In-depth understanding of IAM users/groups/roles/policies, permission boundaries, service-linked roles, and AWS Organisations (SCPs)
  • Hands-on experience reviewing existing IAM policies (JSON), detecting overly broad permissions (e.g., “*” or wildcard actions), and recommending fine-grained least-privilege models

Azure Active Directory & Azure RBAC

  • Knowledge of Azure AD concepts: users, groups, applications/service principals, managed identities, Conditional Access policies
  • Familiarity with Azure RBAC roles (built-in and custom) and PIM (Privileged Identity Management) best practices for just-in-time elevation

GCP IAM

  • Understanding of GCP IAM constructs: Principals (Users, Service Accounts, Groups), Roles (primitive, predefined, custom), Service Account Keys, and Organization-level policies
  • Experience reviewing IAM policy bindings (via GCP IAM or Terraform state) and recommending Organisation/Folder/Project-level least-privilege structures

Kubernetes RBAC & Cloud-Native Identities

  • Solid grasp of Kubernetes RBAC entities—Role, Cluster Role, Role Binding, ClusterRoleBinding—and how they map to Kubernetes API groups
  • Awareness of how cloud-provider-managed Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, GKE) integrates with cloud IAM (for example, IAM Authenticator in EKS, GKE Workload Identity, Azure AD/Entra integration).

SaaS Application Identity Management

  • Familiarity with Single Sign-On (SSO) protocols (SAML, OAuth 2.0/OIDC) and identity providers (Azure AD, GCDS, AWS IAM)
  • Understanding of SCIM provisioning, user lifecycle workflows (onboarding/offboarding), and entitlement catalogue management for major SaaS (e.g., Office 365)


EXPERIENCE:

  • 5+ years as a Business Analyst focused on IT security, governance, or IAM
  • Hands-on experience mapping and documenting IAM processes in AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Practical knowledge of AWS IAM (users/roles/policies), Azure AD & RBAC, and GCP IAM (roles/bindings)
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes RBAC (Role Bindings, ClusterRoleBindings) and how those ties into cloud IAM (EKS, AKS, GKE)
  • Proven track record analysing SaaS-based identity integrations (e.g., SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning)
  • Strong gap-analysis skills, able to pinpoint missing or weak access controls
  • Comfortable using cloud consoles, CLIs (AWS, Azure, GCP and Ali) and reviewing IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation) for IAM-related misconfigurations
  • Excellent stakeholder management; able to facilitate cross-functional workshops and drive consensus.
