• Tool Implementation: Lead the implementation of the selected PAM tool, including installation, configuration, and integration with existing systems. Ensure that the solution meets all security and compliance requirements.

• Customization and Optimization: Customize and optimize the PAM tool to fit the specific needs of the organization. This may include scripting, policy configuration, and workflow automation.

• Training and Documentation: Provide training to IT staff and end-users on the proper use of the PAM tool. Develop and maintain documentation, including user guides, technical manuals, and operational procedures.

• Ongoing Support and Maintenance: Provide ongoing support and maintenance for the PAM solution, including troubleshooting issues, applying updates, and ensuring continuous alignment with evolving security requirements.

• Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of PAM tools such as CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Thycotic, or similar. Experience with access control, identity management, and security frameworks.

• Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot complex security issues and develop creative solutions to meet business needs.

• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

• Certifications: Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or PAM-specific certifications are a plus.
