Description

NexGen Data Systems is seeking an experienced Cyber IAM Supervisor to direct enterprise identity governance operations, dynamic authentication rule-set modeling, and Zero Trust access control management for USTRANSCOM. The scope of this project involves establishing rigorous identity credentialing frameworks and designing conditional access architectures across the combatant command.

The Cyber IAM Supervisor will lead a specialized engineering team, enforce strict federal identity directives, and orchestrate automated access mechanisms to support combatant command readiness.

Roles & Responsibilities
  • Evaluate enterprise Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) integration strategies, validating dynamic authentication mechanics across multi-tenant networks.
  • Interpret federal Executive Orders, DoD instructions, and command policies to build out the master Zero Trust Implementation Plan and Governance documentation.
  • Design and review conditional access rules, ensuring user access decisions are evaluated dynamically based on continuous device risk scoring.
  • Supervise identity credentialing support staff, auditing access management directories to prevent permission creep across secure enclaves.
  • Perform regular technical post-implementation reviews, checking access tracking matrices to guarantee zero unauthorized access events.
  • Coordinate across the combatant command to facilitate identity federation, directory synchronization, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement mechanisms.
