Job Description

Job Title: Security Administration Analyst – IAM
Location: Jersey City, NJ (On-site)
Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)

About the Opportunity:

ZipStaff is seeking a Security Administration Analyst for access management at a financial services organization. You will execute provisioning, resolve access issues, and hold least-privilege standards with application owners and security coordinators. This is a hands-on IAM operations seat — not a security-architecture role and not a help-desk-only job.

What You’ll Do:

• Process user access and provisioning requests across systems and applications to SLA, with least privilege.
• Support onboarding, transfers, and terminations, including the business purpose and risk of the access.
• Handle standard and complex provisioning.
• Investigate and resolve access incidents through ISM channels (hotline, service queues).
• Validate requests with Security Coordinators and application / data owners.
• Keep knowledge-base articles and control documentation current.
• Support global coverage, including periodic shift changes, on-call rotation, and alternate schedules.
• Look for workflow and automation improvements (scripting or IAM tools) and analyze recurring volume drivers.
• Escalate access and data-protection risks in a timely way.

Required Qualifications:

• 3–5 years in Information Security, Identity & Access Management, or related security administration.
• Hands-on Active Directory , ServiceNow , RBAC , and an IAM platform such as SailPoint (or equivalent).
• Advanced Excel (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, VBA).
• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet SLAs.
• Ability to work on-site in Jersey City, NJ, including on-call and shift flexibility.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Scripting for automation (PowerShell, Python, SQL, or Java).
• Financial services or another regulated environment.
• ITIL.
• Security+ or CISSP.

Benefits:

• Health Insurance.
• Dental Insurance.
• Vision Insurance.
• 401(k).
• 401(k) matching.
• Paid time off.
• Referral Program.

About ZipStaff:

ZipStaff partners with leading organizations to connect skilled technology professionals with high-impact contract opportunities. We focus on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients.

To apply, submit your resume highlighting access provisioning you executed (Active Directory, SailPoint or equivalent, ServiceNow) and any joiner-mover-leaver or least-privilege work. Generic IT support with no IAM tooling will not be considered.
