Remote Privileged Access Management and Identity Operations Specialist

Job Description

An employer is looking for a Remote Privileged Access Management and Identity Operations Specialist will serve as a key operational member of the Infrastructure & Security organization, supporting the day-to-day administration, maintenance, and optimization of the company's Privileged Access Management environment. This individual will primarily focus on BeyondTrust and Teleport platforms, ensuring privileged accounts are properly secured, access requests are fulfilled efficiently, and incidents are resolved within established service level agreements. Working as part of a globally distributed team across U.S. and India time zones, the specialist will proactively monitor system health, investigate operational issues, and coordinate with stakeholders to quickly resolve critical incidents and access-related problems.

On a daily basis, this person will manage PAM-related tickets, perform privileged account onboarding and maintenance, investigate authentication and access issues, and support secure access workflows. The specialist will be expected to take ownership of unresolved requests, identify delays or bottlenecks, engage the appropriate teams, and drive issues through completion rather than waiting for direction. Success in this role requires a proactive mindset, strong follow-through, and a willingness to escalate risks when issues lack clear ownership or threaten SLA commitments.

In addition to operational support, the specialist will partner closely with engineering teams to improve support processes and reduce repetitive manual work through automation. They will leverage PowerShell and Python scripting to enhance workflows, automate recurring requests, enforce new security policies, and improve overall operational efficiency. As the team continues building runbooks, SOPs, and knowledge management processes, this individual will contribute to documentation efforts, identify known issues, and help establish scalable support practices. The ideal candidate combines strong technical PAM expertise with urgency, initiative, accountability, and exceptional communication skills, serving as a proactive contributor who helps the team move from reactive support toward operational excellence.
