Role

Dewan Architects & Engineers is a global design consultancy firm with 900+ professionals across offices in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Iraq. We are seeking an Identity & Access Management (IAM) Specialist to join our Cairo office. In this role, you will own and support IAM operations across the organization, ensuring the right people have the right access to the right systems at the right time, while strengthening security through best-practice controls, automation, and governance. You will work closely with IT, Information Security, and business stakeholders, and support other regional offices during standard business hours (M–F; 8:00am – 5:00pm).

What You Will Do

• Communicate and collaborate effectively with all levels of staff from end users to managers and Principals to deliver secure, user-friendly access solutions.
• Manage the Joiner–Mover–Leaver (JML) lifecycle: provisioning, access changes, and timely deprovisioning.
• Administer and maintain identity platforms (e.g., Microsoft Active Directory / Entra ID) including groups, roles, and access policies.
• Implement and support SSO, MFA, conditional access, and federation for enterprise and cloud applications (e.g., SAML, OAuth/OIDC).
• Enforce least-privilege access using RBAC/ABAC concepts; review privileged access and support PAM controls where applicable.
• Own IAM governance activities: periodic access reviews/recertifications, role design, approvals workflow, and segregation-of-duties support.
• Integrate and onboard applications into IAM (SaaS, on-prem, and cloud), partnering with application owners to define access models.
• Support identity-related incident response (e.g., suspicious logins, compromised accounts, access misuse) and improve preventive controls.
• Maintain accurate records for access requests, approvals, reviews, and audit evidence; create and update IAM documentation and SOPs.
• Contribute to IT security and infrastructure projects as required and continually expand knowledge of Dewan’s technology landscape.
• Demonstrate ethical and professional behavior and adherence to company policies and procedures.
