EchoStar requires robust security across its digital ecosystem to mitigate risks associated with unauthorized access, supply chain exposure, and identity exploitation. This role addresses these vulnerabilities by establishing a secure Identity and Access Management (IAM) framework and deploying a Zero Trust Architecture across corporate and vendor environments. Key challenges include eliminating authentication friction, controlling lateral movement within networks, and continuously measuring security control effectiveness against evolving threat vectors. The role ensures alignment across IT, compliance, and business units while implementing scalable cybersecurity defenses.
What Success Looks Like (Objectives):- Design and deploy a scalable IAM framework that standardizes multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, and privileged access controls for internal employees and external supply chain vendors to meet security OKRs
- Implement a Zero Trust Architecture utilizing identity-driven user and network segmentation to restrict unauthorized lateral movement across corporate networks
- Establish data-driven metrics to evaluate the operational effectiveness of production IAM controls and proactively remediate identified deficiencies
- Integrate AI-driven threat detection tools and automation into the identity and access control stack to enhance behavioral anomaly detection and incident response capabilities
- Lead security intake processes for new enterprise initiatives, defining technical IAM and security architecture requirements to ensure seamless control integration into new deployments
Core Skills, Competencies, and Key Experiences (What you'll bring)- Strong skills in enterprise IAM architecture, privileged access management, and Zero Trust design principles, including user- and network-level segmentation controls
- Ability to analyze Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) frameworks to anticipate identity-based attack vectors and proactively update security architectures against emerging vulnerabilities
- Problem solving in utilizing vulnerability assessment tools, penetration testing methodologies, and automated control verification platforms to remediate access vulnerabilities
- AI Application in leveraging AI-driven security operations and tooling to automate identity threat research and technical risk identification
- Decision making and cross-functional leadership to align complex IAM and cybersecurity engineering requirements with corporate business objectives
Additional Qualifications:- Exposure to threat modeling, secure architecture design, or enterprise security audits within large-scale network infrastructure environments
Candidates must be willing to participate in at least one in-person interview.Visa sponsorship not available for this role.
Minimum Requirements- Minimum Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, related discipline, or commensurate industry experience
- Minimum Experience: Critical experience demonstrating comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity principles, concepts, and technologies
- Required Technical Skills: Must have experience with:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM) frameworks
- Zero Trust Architecture and network segmentation controls
- Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) frameworks
- Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing tools
