Job description

Overview

This is a 12-month contracting opportunity based in Auckland CBD for an experienced Identity Engineer. The role is focused on helping modernise a large workforce identity environment, with a strong emphasis on practical delivery.

You will collaborate with Application Owners, Identity Architecture, and Security teams to improve identity integration across enterprise systems during cloud migration. A key part of the role is strengthening identity and access management controls, including identity governance.

What you'll work on

  • Upgrade workforce identity capabilities and support cloud connectivity across enterprise platforms.
  • Build and refine IAM controls, with a focus on identity governance.
  • Work alongside security and architecture specialists to improve authentication, federation, and access standards.
  • Help deliver secure access outcomes across the full identity lifecycle, including privileged access and access-risk management.

Experience and technical background

  • Hands-on experience delivering end-to-end workforce identity solutions, not only advising on them.
  • Working knowledge of privileged access management.
  • Practical experience with federation technologies and patterns.
  • Understanding of authentication standards and modern access controls.
  • Awareness of access-risk concepts such as toxic access combinations.
  • Demonstrated success delivering identity capabilities within wider enterprise programmes and platforms.
  • Ability to engage confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Environment

  • Microsoft-based workforce identity landscape using Entra ID and Azure.
  • Current user base is approximately 10,000 users.
  • There may be future scope to broaden into customer identity as the capability evolves, potentially supporting around 500,000 users.

Additional information

This role is a hands-on contract engagement rather than an advisory-only position. Interested candidates can express their interest or request a confidential conversation with the recruiter.
