Title: Senior Manager - IAM Location: Greater Chicago Area (Rosemont), Hybrid Compensation: Up to $220K Base + Bonus

Be part of a top-tier security function investing in A-player talent
Strong emphasis on learning, development, and career progression
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead the strategy and delivery of IAM & CIAM programs
Build and manage high-performing teams (10+ headcount)
Partner with senior stakeholders to align identity with business priorities
Drive improvements across governance, authentication, and access controls

Why Join?
This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact role where you’re not just maintaining IAM, you’re shaping it. You’ll have the backing, visibility, and autonomy to build and scale identity capabilities in a business that’s growing fast and investing heavily in security.
If you’re looking to lead from the front in a high-performance environment and make a tangible impact at scale, this is a role worth exploring.
