• Design and implement automated solutions for privileged access reporting, session monitoring, vaulting operations, and exception management using PowerShell, Python, SQL, or workflow tools.

• Oversee integration of PAM controls with enterprise systems, directories, cloud platforms, and critical applications; support onboarding of new privileged accounts and systems.
• Conduct trend analysis on PAM data to identify anomalies or unusual access patterns and escalate for investigation.
• Provide advanced Tier II–III troubleshooting for privileged access failures, vaulting issues, session monitoring, credential rotation, and privileged access integrations.
• Prioritize urgent PAM‑related requests, high‑risk access elevations, and break‑glass events.
• Maintain and enhance PAM operational documentation, workflows, and knowledge base content.
• Partner with Internal Audit, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, and Application Owners to ensure privileged access processes meet regulatory and internal control expectations.
• Advise stakeholders on RBAC, least‑privilege design, SoD risk identification, and privileged access architecture.
• Participate in and contribute to security assessments, incident reviews, and access‑related investigations.
• Collaborate on IAM and PAM strategy, policies, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Contribute to group projects, process redesign efforts, and enterprise PAM roadmap planning.
• Cross‑train team members to maintain operational continuity and uplift team capability.
