In this role, the Director will serve as the regional leader for all application-access governance engineering and operations, working closely with the Senior Director of Application Access Governance to define strategy, deliver the roadmap, and operationalize AI-driven automation across Cybersecurity’s IAM application-access governance and related processes worldwide.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Leadership & Alignment

Serve as the primary liaison between the Warsaw hub and the global Application Access Governance (AAG) program, ensuring local execution aligns with the strategic vision established by the Senior Director.

  • Shape multi-year roadmaps that integrate Zero-Trust principles, evolving regulatory mandates, and AI / ML innovations.
  • Application Access Governance – Execution & Oversight
  • Spearhead the end-to-end onboarding and full-lifecycle access governance of applications, components, and appliances, maintaining alignment with global AAG objectives.

  • Establish, monitor, and report actionable KPIs / KRIs, SLAs, and OKRs, delivering data-driven insights to the Senior Director and VP of IAM.
  • Leverage analytics tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Python) to mine application access data, identify access-risk patterns, and generate predictive insights that drive risk reduction and control enhancements.
  • Lead the Application Access Governance team, enforcing policy compliance, resolving exceptions quickly, and driving continuous improvement.
  • AI & Automation
  • Oversee the integration of AI / ML and GenAI across IAM processes, transforming manual tasks into intelligent, automated workflows.

  • Mentor and guide junior IAM engineers as they build, train, and maintain models that strengthen application-access governance, detect control violations, and recommend corrective actions while minimizing false positives.
  • Collaborate with the IAM technology group to design and launch rapid proofs of concept that accelerate the adoption of advanced automation.
  • Engineering, Operational Excellence & Customer Support
  • Inspire and lead a cross-functional team of IAM engineers and analysts, cultivating a results-oriented culture focused on continual enhancement of Application Access Governance processes and controls.

  • Drive large-scale automation of IAM control validation, self-attestation evidence collection, and compliance reporting, eliminating manual effort and ensuring perpetual audit readiness.
  • Provide executive-level oversight of IAM customer support, ensuring fast, AI-driven resolution of access issues while optimizing IAM control performance.
  • Stakeholder & Change Management
  • Partner with Application Development, Cloud, People, and Legal teams to embed identity security into new initiatives.

  • Lead change-management efforts to maximize adoption of new IAM capabilities with minimal business disruption.
  • Manual IAM Security Configuration Validation
  • Provide executive oversight for the manual review and validation of IAM security configurations for all Critical, High, and Medium applications that cannot be auto-validated, ensuring enterprise-wide, best-in-class security posture and full regulatory compliance.

  • Risk, Compliance & Audit
  • Own and maintain the IAM risk register, engineering and continuously monitoring controls aligned with SOX, GDPR, PCI DSS, and other regulatory requirements.

  • Serve as the senior liaison for internal and external auditors, overseeing end-to-end audit cycles, ensuring the provision of accurate and timely evidence, and driving rapid, sustainable remediation in collaboration with the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team.
  • Build and scale a high-performing IAM organization by recruiting top talent, defining clear roles, and securing the resources needed for success.
  • Set ambitious yet attainable performance goals, provide ongoing coaching and career-development planning for each team member.
  • Foster an inclusive, psychologically safe environment that encourages innovation, accountability, and cross-functional collaboration.
  • Promote continuous learning through training, certifications, and hands-on experimentation with emerging IAM, AI / ML, and cloud-security technologies.
  • Establish robust succession and workforce-planning practices to ensure long-term organizational resilience and knowledge continuity.
  • This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
