What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in identity and access security—handling provisioning/deprovisioning, investigating access issues, and running access reviews. I want a fast-paced team that values secure processes, clear communication, and compliance.

I’m an Identity Access Management Analyst with experience in a financial institution’s Risk Management department, specifically within the Information Security team. I transitioned from a part-time internship to full-time and support identity lifecycle management, including access provisioning/deprovisioning and ongoing access administration for on-premise and cloud applications.

I work closely with HR and managers/directors/VPs to ensure new hires receive the correct “birthright access” before their start date, and I collaborate with the IT help desk to resolve access issues and escalations. My day-to-day responsibilities include troubleshooting and investigating access requests and unintended access loss, handling password resets for standard and privileged accounts, resolving access-related support tickets with proper approvals, and conducting periodic access reviews/audits to support compliance and mitigate risk.
