About the company We are partnering with a leading Australian organisation. With thousands of endpoints, complex hybrid infrastructure, and a highly regulated operating environment, they sit at the intersection of critical delivery and enterprise-grade IT. It's an exciting time to join, as the business is investing heavily in maturing its cyber security and identity capability.
About the role This is a greenfield opportunity - you won't be inheriting a mature platform. You'll be building governance, frameworks, and standards from the ground up, and owning the outcome end-to-end.
This PAM Platform Owner role is a pivotal role within the IAM strategy. You'll be the internal owner of the Privileged Access Management platform - accountable for implementation, stabilisation, compliance, and strategic direction. A vendor will provide technical support, but the platform ownership, stakeholder relationships, and roadmap are entirely yours.
Your Responsibilities: - Lead platform stabilisation and implementation - the primary focus for the first 6–12 months.
- Onboard applications onto the PAM platform, working directly with application owners and technical teams.
- Build and own the governance, compliance, and frameworks architecture for PAM across the enterprise.
- Drive stakeholder engagement and buy-in across business units - translate technical outcomes into business value.
- Develop business cases to build reporting lines, support the growth of the team, and secure ongoing investment.
- Champion the PAM platform internally - be the go-to voice and authority on all things PAM
Experience Required: - Hands-on CyberArk experience at enterprise scale - not theoretical; you've configured, integrated, and troubleshot it.
- Strong understanding of legacy environments: Active Directory schemas, legacy authentication, and CyberArk integrations with complex hybrid infrastructure
- Experience operating in large, high-complexity environments.
- Deep knowledge of PAM best practices, IAM standards, and how governance and compliance tie directly back to CyberArk capabilities.
- Proven ability to own and deliver - not just advise. You hold outcomes, not just opinion.
If you've grown from technical delivery into owning frameworks and governance, and you're ready to shape a function rather than just fill a role, we want to hear from you.
This role starts as an individual contributor, with a clear pathway into leadership as the platform matures. Your delivery in the first 12 months will directly shape that trajectory.
