The Cyber Security Systems Administrator will provide hands-on technical support across the IAM technology environment, including capabilities supporting Identity Governance, Access Management, Privileged Access Management, Password Management, and Identity Analytics and Intelligence.

This role works closely with Cybersecurity, IT, HR, Transmission, Distribution, Supply Chain, and other business stakeholders to implement and support secure, scalable identity solutions across FirstEnergy’s hybrid technology environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Administer, configure, maintain, troubleshoot, and enhance enterprise Identity and Access Management technologies and supporting infrastructure.
  • Support identity lifecycle processes, including onboarding, transfers, role changes, and offboarding of employees and contractors, in coordination with HR, IT, and business stakeholders.
  • Provide technical administration and operational support across the five IAM pillars: Identity Governance, Access Management, Privileged Access Management, Password Management, and Identity Analytics and Intelligence.
  • Administer and support enterprise authentication technologies, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Single Sign-On (SSO), Conditional Access, federation services, and passwordless authentication.
  • Configure and maintain identity integrations utilizing authentication and federation standards such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect.
  • Implement and maintain role-based access control (RBAC), least privilege, and appropriate access controls and permissions across information technology and operational technology environments.
  • Support IAM platforms and associated technologies, which may include Microsoft Entra ID, Azure B2C, Okta, Ping Identity, SailPoint, OneIdentity, and privileged access management solutions.
  • Monitor the health, availability, performance, and reliability of IAM platforms and supporting infrastructure and help ensure established Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are met.
  • Participate in IAM-related incident investigations, troubleshooting complex authentication and access issues, identifying root causes, implementing corrective actions, and recommending improvements to processes and procedures.
  • Provide IAM subject matter expertise during cybersecurity incidents involving authentication, authorization, privileged access, identity compromise, or access governance.
  • Assist with integrating IAM controls and identity-related telemetry with Cyber Operations, threat detection, and insider threat monitoring capabilities.
  • Implement and maintain technologies supporting secure remote access, vendor access management, and privileged access controls, including requirements associated with operational technology and critical infrastructure environments.
  • Maintain appropriate segregation of duties between IAM operations, access governance, and compliance oversight functions.
  • Support cybersecurity and regulatory compliance requirements, including activities associated with SOX and CIP, by maintaining appropriate technical controls, system configurations, documentation, and supporting evidence.
  • Ensure IAM technologies and configurations adhere to applicable cybersecurity, data governance, and data loss prevention policies.
  • Participate in technology upgrades, implementations, integrations, migrations, and other IAM projects, helping ensure technical deliverables are completed successfully.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, including system configurations, operational procedures, troubleshooting guides, architecture information, and support documentation.
  • Identify opportunities to improve IAM reliability, security, automation, and operational efficiency through technology and process improvements.
  • Maintain technical expertise in supported platforms through training, webinars, conferences, professional publications, research, and other professional development activities.
  • Collaborate with Cyber Operations, Infrastructure, HR, Compliance, Internal Audit, and business stakeholders to implement identity controls that enable business objectives while reducing cybersecurity risk.
  • Demonstrate FirstEnergy’s Core Values and Behaviors through day-to-day interactions, decision-making, teamwork, and accountability.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technology field, or equivalent applicable experience.

  • Experience supporting or administering Identity and Access Management technologies such as Microsoft Entra ID, Azure B2C, Okta, Ping Identity, SailPoint, OneIdentity, PAM solutions, token management platforms, IT service management platforms, and certificate lifecycle management technologies is preferred.
  • Deep technical knowledge of authentication and federation technologies and protocols, including SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect.
  • Strong understanding of MFA, SSO, Conditional Access, federation, passwordless authentication, RBAC, and least-privilege principles.
  • Proficiency in cybersecurity principles, identity lifecycle management, privileged access, authentication, authorization, and access governance.
  • Experience working within regulated environments and supporting compliance activities such as SOX and CIP is preferred.
  • Knowledge of system and application management practices, including strategies, policies, principles, procedures, and standards.
  • Understanding of architectural design principles related to system availability and disaster recovery.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across technical teams and business functions.
  • Ability to manage multiple technical assignments and priorities in a dynamic operational environment.
