Lead the deployment and troubleshooting of platform connectors and related components, including CPM, PSM, and SSH-based access.
Plan and oversee the onboarding of privileged accounts across Windows, Linux/Unix, directory services, databases, network devices, and business applications.
Manage integrations with customer identity providers and directory services, including authentication, user and group mapping, and access-model troubleshooting.
Diagnose complex issues across the privileged access platform and customer infrastructure, coordinating with customer and vendor teams to drive timely resolution.
Review technical designs and implementation deliverables to ensure security, operational reliability, and alignment with customer requirements and established practices.
Serve as a trusted technical contact for customer stakeholders, clearly communicating risks, assumptions, dependencies, recommendations, and implementation options.
Coach and support other consultants through design reviews, troubleshooting guidance, knowledge sharing, and technical mentoring.
Contribute technical expertise to project scoping, solution proposals, project plans, architecture discussions, and internal knowledge resources.
Collaborate with architects, project managers, and delivery colleagues across regions, supporting customer delivery requirements, including reasonable time-zone overlap and project travel when necessary.
