The Digital Department Workplace pilots the digital ecosystem enabling our employees to work effectively anywhere in the world.

As a member of the Workplace Engineering Team and reporting to the Workplace Engineering Lead, the Workplace Engineering Specialist (OKTA) will design, implement, and manage secure identity and access solutions for new subsidiaries and environments, while managing existing sites to ensure they comply with IT standards and utilize up-to-date infrastructure.

Leverage Okta Workflows, Inline Hooks, and Event Hooks to build scalable, automated identity lifecycle processes.

• Pioneer Cloud-Native Identity: Be a key contributor to the decommissioning of our on-premises Active Directory, accelerating the transition to a secure, modern, cloud-only architecture.

• Strengthen Security and Governance: Define and enforce identity governance policies (OPA), securely manage non-human and service accounts, and actively collaborate with Security/Platform teams to implement our Zero Trust model and conditional access policies.

• Ensure Compliance and Excellence: Produce high-quality technical documentation for audits and compliance, while also managing critical infrastructure components like 802.1X radius.

• Enable Business and Growth: Act as the subject matter expert (Level 3 support) for all authentication and access issues, support business teams in seamless application integration via Okta SSO, and mentor team members to elevate the team's overall expertise in identity and access management.

• Contribute to Collaboration Ecosystem: Participate in the administration and optimization of the Google Workspace environment, complementing the core identity function.
