About the Position

The Infrastructure Access and Privileged Management (IAPM) Governance Vice President plays a critical role in establishing and maintaining the firm’s privileged access governance framework. This position provides enterprise‑wide oversight of privileged access controls, ensuring alignment with internal risk standards, regulatory expectations, and audit requirements.

The Vice President works closely with technology, security, risk, compliance, and audit partners to ensure privileged access is appropriately designed, governed, measured, and remediated across all platforms and environments. The role requires strong technical expertise in IAM and PAM solutions, strong critical thinking and problem solving skills and excellent communication skills.

What You Will Be Doing

The responsibilities for this role will include:

Lead cross-departmental teams to design and implement manual and automated controls for all PAM policies.
Establish and enforce least‑privilege standards, role categorization, entitlement governance, and access certification coverage for privileged access.
Own and oversee PAM‑related controls, metrics, and key risk indicators, including board‑level and regulatory reporting.
Develop, maintain, and execute IAM and PAM governance SOPs, ensuring processes are repeatable, defensible, and audit‑ready.
Partner with technology and platform owners to review privileged access designs, role changes, compensating controls, and remediation plans.
Serve as a primary point of contact for audit, risk, and regulatory inquiries related to privileged and elevated access.
Identify control gaps and emerging risks, drive remediation activities, and track issues to closure.
Provide expert advisory guidance on privileged access solutions, including firecall access, time‑bound access, MFA enforcement, and non‑persistent access models.
Ensure consistent governance and documentation across on‑prem, cloud, and hybrid environments.
