Our Challenge:-

We are looking for hands-on delivery leader to take accountability for the successful execution of its early-stage Identity & Access Management (IAM) programme.

This role goes beyond traditional project management — we need someone who can set direction, lead cross-functional collaboration, and ensure the organisation realises the programme’s objectives. You will be the primary driver of progress, bridging business and technology teams, and establishing delivery discipline from the outset.

While you will work with a dedicated Project Manager to track day-to-day tasks, your focus will be on orchestrating stakeholders, shaping the delivery approach, and resolving blockers across HR, Procurement, Risk, IT Security, and other functions. Awareness of IAM concepts — particularly SailPoint — is beneficial, but strategic leadership and delivery ownership are the core requirements.

Additional Information

The base salary for this position will vary based on geography and other factors. In accordance with law, the base salary for this role if filled within Cedar Rapids is $125-150K/year & benefits (see below).

The Role

Responsibilities:

• Own the delivery of the IAM program, ensuring agreed outcomes and benefits are achieved.
• Set and communicate the delivery approach, priorities, and success measures.
• Build and maintain strong stakeholder relationships across all involved business units and technical teams.
• Facilitate alignment on requirements, dependencies, and strategic decisions.
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and conflicts — driving resolution at the right governance level.
• Provide clear, outcome-focused reporting to senior leadership and programme sponsors.
• Maintain delivery momentum in a complex and evolving environment.

Required Skills & Experience

• Overall 12 + years of experience with 5+ years’ experience delivering complex, cross-functional change initiatives in medium-to-large organizations.
• Proven track record of end-to-end program delivery accountability in security, IAM, or related transformation spaces.
• Strong leadership presence; able to influence without formal authority.
• Exceptional communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to navigate evolving scope and priorities while keeping teams aligned on end goals.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with IAM principles, user lifecycle management, and related security practices.
• Awareness of SailPoint or similar IAM platforms.
• Experience in financial services, insurance, or other regulated sectors.
• Working knowledge of Jira, Confluence, and standard programme reporting tools.

We offer:

• A highly competitive compensation and benefits package.
• A multinational organization with 58 offices in 21 countries and the possibility to work abroad.
• 10 days of paid annual leave (plus sick leave and national holidays).
• Maternity & paternity leave plans.
• A comprehensive insurance plan including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and long-/short-term disability (plans vary by region).
• Retirement savings plans.
• A higher education certification policy.
• Commuter benefits (varies by region).
• Extensive training opportunities, focused on skills, substantive knowledge, and personal development.
• On-demand Udemy for Business for all Synechron employees with free access to more than 5000 curated courses.
• Coaching opportunities with experienced colleagues from our Financial Innovation Labs (FinLabs) and Center of Excellences (CoE) groups.
• Cutting edge projects at the world’s leading tier-one banks, financial institutions and insurance firms.
• A flat and approachable organization.
• A truly diverse, fun-loving, and global work culture.
