Complete Description:
Preferred Education: Bachelor's Degree - Computer Science, IT, or Engineering-Focused MajorJob Description: The IOP CX identity platform operates on a complex, broad, and continuously expanding set of applications and tools, housed on both cloud infrastructure and SaaS products that the program leverages to build and provide mission critical services to the State and its constituents. Its largest and most complex offering, OHID, serves as an enterprise-grade identity service for all State of Ohio agencies and its constituents. The OHID platform continues to expand its offerings, while in parallel continuing to grow in its agency application and user count, which illuminates the need for identity expertise on the core IOP team.
Identity Governance Advisor
As OHID continues to grow and expand on its core services and offerings, it is imperative that the platform formalizes and provides clarity and rigidity around identity governance and standards. This is to achieve two goals:
1. To ensure that all use of the various OHID services and solutions are leveraged in a safe and consistent way, to prevent operational issues and technical debt.2. To ensure that all development (changes and new functions) are built to IOP and industry standard, ensuring scalability and supportability.
Technical Identity and Access Management (IAM) Subject Matter Expert and Architect
As platform adoption rises, agencies continue to onboard applications and services to the platform at a rapid pace. IOP consistently has multiple identity projects operating in parallel, many of which are technically complex, mission critical, and traverse diverse organizations, both across State agencies and within DAS. This role will provide technical delivery leadership and oversight to these complex and critical projects, to ensure that they are delivered on time and with quality. In addition, this role will serve as an identity advisor and SME to ensure that changes or new additions to the identity platform are designed and developed according to industry and IOP standards.
In addition, this role is expected to assess the current identity technical infrastructure and application architecture to identify gaps, weak points, and inefficiencies in the identity platform. This role would then identify improvements and solutions in an effort to make the identity service offering more efficient, resilient, and redundant in an effort to increase the platform's overall stability and operability in steady state.
IOP is seeking a contractor to serve in this role, as it is extremely difficult for someone with the experience, drive, leadership, and breadth and depth of skill that is required for this multi-faceted role position within the constraints of State employment.
