Your role and responsibilities

As IAM Team Lead, you will be responsible for the long-term planning and strategic direction of Identity and Access Management. You will develop a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future needs, create development roadmaps and steer their implementation. You will lead the university’s IAM expert team as a line manager and be responsible for vendor management and collaboration.

The role combines technical insight, strategic development and collaboration. You will work closely with technical experts and other stakeholders to ensure that IAM solutions meet organisational needs, support information security and enable a smooth digital user experience.

What we offer

  • An impactful role: You will help develop the university’s Identity and Access Management capabilities and advance solutions that support research, education and societal development.
  • A diverse IAM environment: The university’s extensive application landscape, diverse user groups and cross-organisational collaboration offer interesting challenges in identity and access management.
  • The opportunity to drive long-term development: The importance of IAM is recognised at Aalto, and investment in its development reflects evolving technology and information security requirements.
  • Room to grow and make an impact: You can deepen your expertise, develop your leadership skills and shape your role around your strengths and interests. We support professional development through training, certifications and peer learning, for example.
  • Flexible working arrangements: Flexible working hours and location arrangements help you balance work with the rest of your life.

We are looking for a forward-thinking Identity and Access Management professional who understands both the technical solutions and their broader organizational significance. You are able to see the big picture, identify development opportunities and translate objectives into concrete actions. You have good collaboration skills.

We hope you have:

  • Proven experience in developing a long-term vision, assessing development needs and steering the development of the overall IAM environment.
  • Leadership skills - gained through previous line management responsibilities or, for example, project management.
  • Technical IAM expertise: the technologies particularly relevant to us are One Identity, Microsoft Entra ID and Shibboleth. Familiarity with the Haka identity federation is considered an advantage.
  • Experience in working, influencing, and leading projects in a large or otherwise complex organization.
  • A relevant higher education degree is considered an advantage.

You will thrive in this role if you can build a shared understanding among diverse stakeholders, communicate technical and business needs clearly, and drive initiatives forward with determination. You are solution-oriented and passionate about development, willing to challenge established practices and eager to learn and grow together with others.

You communicate fluently in English. Knowledge of Finnish is considered an advantage.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
