Identity and Access Management (IAM) Specialist (Full-Time)
The role of Identity and Access Management (IAM) Specialist at Julius Baer in Zurich involves supporting the transition of IAM into a mature governance function and developing an IAM governance framework. The specialist is expected to identify key challenges to ensure that policies, standards, and the operating model are risk-appropriate, effective, and aligned with the bank’s international context.
Your challenge
- Support the transition of IAM into a mature 2LoD governance function by defining challenge mechanisms, monitoring frameworks, and escalation practices. Contribute to the continuous improvement of IAM monitoring and control effectiveness.
- Develop and refine the IAM governance framework and support the evolution of the enterprise-wide IAM operating model as responsibilities shift to the first line.
- Provide independent challenges to ensure that policies, standards, and the operating model are risk-appropriate, effective, and aligned with the bank’s international context.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the 1LoD-IAM implementation and identify necessary organizational, procedural, and IT adjustments.
- Ensure alignment with the IAM policy and architecture.
- Provide monitoring of the business role catalog, business contexts, and business-to-IT mappings.
- Challenges: Modeling decisions made by the 1LoD to ensure consistency, least-privilege design, and compliance with governance and regulatory requirements.
- Provide governance and compliance guidance for new business units, organizational changes, and strategic initiatives. Ensure that IAM requirements and policies are appropriately integrated into 1LoD planning and implementation.
- Monitor the effectiveness of business role instance assignment processes and flag unusual or high-risk access scenarios. Monitor key IAM control indicators, track 1LoD remediation activities, and track risk thresholds without assuming operational responsibility.
- Conduct IAM risk assessments, compliance monitoring, and governance audits. Validate policy exceptions and monitor separation of duties (SoD) management. Monitor IAM-related certification campaigns and support audits with detailed evidence and insights.
Your profile
- Strong analytical and data-driven skills to interpret complex IAM and access-related data, identify anomalies, and translate insights into governance measures. Experience with analytics or visualization tools is a strong plus.
- A deep understanding of banking business processes, including organizational structures, core processes, customer-facing activities, and how these translate into access requirements. The ability to align business models with IAM governance requirements is critical.
- Solid expertise in IAM governance and access concepts such as ABAC, separation of duties, and other relevant topics.
- Impact on business, IT, and control functions in an international environment.
- A degree in business administration or a related field. Relevant certifications are a plus.
