About the Role

Provide technical leadership on a large, multi-year identity transformation program in the health sector, moving the customer from fragmented processes to automated, governed, and auditable provisioning and deprovisioning using Okta Workflows and Okta Identity Governance (OIG). This is a hands-on principal-level role requiring technical direction, delivery leadership, and close involvement in implementation details.

Responsibilities

Lead the program’s technical outcomes, including assessment, design, implementation, migration, and operational handover.
Guide engineers, resolve technical challenges, and coordinate dependencies across various teams.
Architect, build, test, operate, and optimize Okta Workflows for joiner, mover, and leaver automation, including integrations, approvals, exception handling, reconciliation, observability, secure API patterns, and production support.
Design and deliver Okta Identity Governance (OIG) for access requests, approvals, entitlements, access catalogues, certifications, reviews, and lifecycle controls.
Remediate identity data and provisioning by defining authoritative sources, improving data quality, and replacing manual provisioning with governed integrations.
Protect health-sector operations by applying privacy, least privilege, separation of duties, auditability, and controlled change principles.
Design for resilience, recoverability, and safe fallback where identity failures could affect critical users or services.
Establish sustainable delivery and stakeholder practices, setting standards for design, testing, release, monitoring, documentation, and support.
Lead workshops and technical assurance, advise customer stakeholders, and grow capability through mentoring and reusable assets.

Requirements

Extensive, recent, and hands-on experience designing, building, testing, troubleshooting, and operating Okta Workflows in complex enterprise environments.
Extensive experience delivering Okta Identity Governance (OIG) or comparable IGA solutions, including access requests, approvals, entitlements, access catalogues, certifications, reviews, lifecycle governance, and audit controls.
Proven success replacing fragmented or manual provisioning with automated, governed, and supportable solutions.
Strong knowledge of identity lifecycle management, JML processes, data quality, attribute mastering, least privilege, and deprovisioning.
Demonstrated ability to integrate Okta with HR platforms, Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID, ITSM tools, SaaS, and custom applications using REST APIs, SCIM, JSON, webhooks, or equivalent technologies.
Strong engineering and operational capability across validation, error handling, reconciliation, retries, observability, auditability, secure secrets management, testing, migration, and production support.
Proven principal-level leadership across complex programs.
Communication, consulting, and mentoring skills to influence stakeholders, guide delivery teams, and remain hands-on.
Experience delivering identity and access solutions in healthcare or another highly regulated environment.
Understanding of diverse workforces, clinical and corporate applications, contractors, third parties, and high-availability services.
Experience with complex identity transformations, including legacy IGA coexistence, application rationalisation, role and entitlement modelling, and phased migration or cutover programs.
Experience integrating Workday or other HR systems, ServiceNow or other ITSM platforms, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, LDAP, databases, and enterprise SaaS applications.
Familiarity with Okta Workforce Identity capabilities is valued.
Experience with Terraform, configuration-as-code, CI/CD, or other DevOps practices.
Experience with adjacent platforms such as SailPoint, CyberArk, or Auth0.
Experience with technical assurance across privacy, security, compliance, and audit requirements.
