The Role

Condé Nast is looking for a Security Engineer to join our global Cyber Security team. This is a high-visibility role designed for a technical lead who can bridge the gap between complex project delivery and long-term security engineering excellence. The successful candidate would have worked predominantly in the Identity and Access Management (IAM) space, specialising as an SME in the area of Privilege Access Management (PAM). As such you will have extensive knowledge of PAM solutions across multi‑cloud and hybrid‑on‑premises environments, additionally you will have experience with identity lifecycle management as a whole and federated authentication protocols such as SAML, OIDC, and OAuth 2.0.

As our SME within the PAM space, your journey will begin working on our global Privileged Access Management (PAM) project, where you will be responsible for the end‑to‑end implementation and delivery of our Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution into the organisation. As such, the successful candidate will have proven experience delivering end‑to‑end PAM solutions, including multiple CyberArk Privileged Cloud implementations, for medium to large organisations and would have worked in a professional services role or consultancy capacity previously. Following the successful deployment of the PAM platform, you will maintain end‑to‑end technical ownership as the platform’s SME.

As part of your role, you will collaborate strategically with the Identity team to harmonise our PAM and IAM architectures, ensuring both privileged and standard identities are hardened against modern threats through optimal configuration and policy alignment. This role reports to the Senior Security Architecture Manager, but will work closely with the Security Architect to ensure our PAM and IAM solutions are deployed effectively throughout the organisation. As the technical owner for key security platforms you will own the lifecycle management of these, ensuring they are delivering optimal security performance, automated lifecycle workflows, and a seamless user experience that aligns with our global security architecture.

What will you be doing?

• Act as the primary SME and technical owner for CyberArk Privilege Cloud throughout the project lifecycle; spearheading the design, implementation and onboarding phases, orchestrating the transition to Business‑As‑Usual (BAU), and providing technical support and platform governance post‑delivery.
• Provide other team members with knowledge transfer and upskilling on PAM.
• Integrate SaaS, Cloud and on‑premises applications with CyberArk as needed.
• Establish and maintain ongoing processes and procedures needed as part of the overarching PAM program, including the PAM standard.
• Act as the senior escalation point for complex PAM tooling issues, working with internal teams (Infrastructure, Support, Networking, Identity) and vendors to resolve issues.
• Collaborate with the Identity team to evaluate emerging platform features and roadmap enhancements, ensuring that new capabilities are architected and integrated into the global security stack with a focus on scalability and resilience.
• Create, maintain and update design documentation, technical documentation, service guides and administrative guides for security tooling.
• Provide administrative and overall support of the PAM platform, assisting with upgrades, maintenance, DR testing and management of the platform as a whole.
• Ensure the platform is integrated with on‑prem SIEM solutions and work with the SOC team to define identity and privilege use cases and set up alerting as needed.
• Support the security engineering team with the management of detection and response tooling when required.
