- Work with application developers to implement secure SSO integrations and support modern OAuth/OIDC authentication flows.
- Work directly with Entra ID App Registrations and Enterprise Applications, including API permissions, app onboarding, and configuration updates.

- Play a key role in Moderna’s migration from Okta to Entra ID, including application assessment, testing, and troubleshooting.
- Support identity lifecycle processes, including provisioning, deprovisioning, group-based access, and SCIM integrations.
- Troubleshoot authentication and access issues across Entra ID, Okta, and connected applications, partnering closely with vendors and application teams.
- Manage incoming requests and incidents through ServiceNow, ensuring clear communication and timely resolution.
- Maintain documentation, runbooks, and best practices to ensure smooth operations and audit readiness.
- Assist with building and maintaining Conditional Access policies, ensuring strong alignment to Zero Trust principles.
- Support governance of admin roles using Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and enforce least-privilege access.
- Partner with cybersecurity, directory, and platform engineering teams to enhance identity governance, automation, and overall IAM maturity.
- Implement and strengthen phishing-resistant authentication and Conditional Access policies.
- Audit identity configurations, remediate security gaps, and reduce excessive permissions to maintain a least-privilege environment.
Here’s What You’ll Need (Minimum Qualifications)
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 4–6 years of experience in IT, cybersecurity, or IAM, including direct experience supporting Entra ID / Azure AD.
- Hands-on experience configuring and supporting SSO, MFA, Conditional Access, SCIM provisioning, and group-based access.
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with high attention to detail, especially when diagnosing authentication or access issues.
- Experience documenting processes, maintaining operational consistency, and contributing to security-focused workflows.
- Experience managing or supporting IAM-related tickets or identity lifecycle operations.
- Experience managing custom claims, attributes, or scopes in an identity platform, and testing integrated application access flows.
- Ability to communicate clearly, manage priorities, and collaborate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and take direction from senior technical leads.
Here’s What You’ll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications)
- Experience with Okta Workforce Identity Cloud, including SSO, MFA, Lifecycle Management, or API-based integrations—particularly valuable as Moderna migrates to Entra ID.
- Experience with Okta Advanced Lifecycle Management, Okta Workflows, or expression-based mapping logic.
- Understanding of Zero Trust, least privilege, access governance, and modern authentication best practices.
- Knowledge of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and how identity integrates with cloud-based applications and workloads.
- Relevant certifications such as Microsoft SC-300 or Okta Certified Professional/Administrator are strongly preferred.
- Experience working in regulated environments (GxP) is a plus.
