Job Information
Avanade Inc. Identity Access Management Consultant in Stockholm, Sweden
Want to join Avanade’s Nordic Security Practice? We are expanding out team and looking for a new team member to work as an Identity and Access Management Consultant with international clients.
Come join us
This is a client-facing consulting role, where you will work on exciting projects that transform our client’s solutions with a focus on Microsoft Digital Identity capabilities as well as other leading market vendors (e.g. Saviynt & One Identity). As a member of our security practice, you will work for both Avanade and Accenture clients, ranging from medium to large global enterprises.
What you'll do
As an IAM Consultant, you will advise our clients in the field of digital identities to protect their access to information, applications, infrastructure, and business processes. You will work closely with the various stakeholders from the customer and colleagues from Avanade, Accenture, and Microsoft. The clients you will be working for are enterprise organizations in various industries. You will give them advice using your experience and knowledge in the field of IAM. In addition, you, together with a team of colleagues, will supervise the implementation of technical IAM solutions for our clients.
Many companies want to work towards the Zero-Trust principle, and you will advise your clients about this. Because it has become apparent that passwords cannot protect identity optimally, many companies are now switching to Single Sign-on in combination with Passwordless Authentication. We help our clients by advising them and making this transition a reality.
