  • Playing a key role on the GTech Operations Leadership Team, influencing both strategic and operational priorities.

  • Leading responses to security incidents, particularly those involving identity or access issues.

  • Designing and implementing a modern, effective Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework that supports business goals and compliance needs.

  • Developing and continuously improving IAM policies, procedures, and controls to strengthen RX’s overall security posture.

Qualifications:

  • A degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or equivalent experience.

  • Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CompTIA Security+, or Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator (preferred

Skills:

  • Proven experience implementing security standards and frameworks across complex environments.

  • Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OCI) and how to secure them effectively. 

  • Working knowledge of industry frameworks (e.g., NIST) and authentication protocols (e.g., LDAP).

  • Hands-on experience with IAM tools such as Saviynt.

  • Scripting and automation knowledge (e.g., PowerShell, Python).

  • The ability to translate security concepts into clear, actionable guidance for operational teams.

Your Mindset-

  • Analytical, curious, and solutions-oriented — you see challenges as opportunities to improve.

  • A great communicator and collaborator who thrives in cross-functional teams.

  • Adaptable and resilient in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

  • Forward-thinking, with a passion for staying ahead of emerging threats and technologies.
