The Privileged Access Engineering Manager leads a team responsible for delivering enterprise privileged access management (PAM) capabilities that protect critical systems while enabling secure administrative and application access. This role is accountable for building and shaping a high performing engineering team, setting technical direction within the PAM domain, and ensuring reliable, risk aligned delivery of privileged access services.

• Demonstrated ability to build or reshape teams, set direction, and improve delivery maturity.
• Experience managing operationally critical systems, including balancing delivery, reliability, and risk.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)
• Experience with Privileged Access Management concepts or platforms (e.g., CyberArk, PAM tooling).
• Familiarity with identity, access management, or security control domains.
• Experience operating in regulated or high risk environments.
• Background in scaling or modernizing platform based engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Team & People Leadership
• Build, lead, and develop a PAM engineering team, including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and performance management.
• Establish a strong team culture focused on accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
• Develop engineers through mentoring, clear expectations, and growth opportunities aligned to both individual and organizational needs.
• Create clarity of roles and responsibilities as the team scales or evolves.
Technical & Delivery Leadership
• Own delivery and operational health of privileged access services, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security of PAM platforms.
• Guide technical direction within the Privileged Access domain, balancing near term delivery with longer term platform and capability improvements.
• Partner with senior engineers to review designs, prioritize technical work, and address systemic risks or recurring issues.
• Ensure appropriate operational coverage, incident readiness, and post incident learning.
Strategy, Stakeholder & Risk Alignment
• Translate enterprise identity, security, and risk requirements into actionable engineering priorities for the team.
• Partner closely with product, risk, audit, and technology stakeholders to align PAM capabilities with business and regulatory needs.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with leadership on roadmap, risks, dependencies, and delivery progress.
• Represent the Privileged Access engineering function in cross team planning and decision making forums.
