You will bridge the gap between business goals and technical execution, leading complex Identity and Access Management (IAM) initiatives that allow clients to realize the full potential of industry-leading digital advertising platforms.

This role focuses heavily on leading enterprise account transitions-specifically guiding client engineering and security teams away from legacy setup structures toward streamlined, enterprise-grade authentication models (SSO, IDP, SAML/SCIM).

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Consultancy: Serve as the subject matter expert on enterprise access and integration architecture for marketing and IT leadership at top-tier companies across EMEA.
• Account Migration & Architecture: Lead end-to-end client setup, design, and migration planning to transition accounts to dedicated business identity frameworks.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the primary technical bridge between enterprise client teams, internal sales, technical support, and core engineering groups.
• Product Feedback Loop: Translate client migration challenges and feature requests into structured insights to directly influence product and platform roadmap development.
• Issue Resolution: Proactively unblock technical hurdles during integration lifecycle phases and manage timely resolution of complex tier-3 support tickets.
• Scale & Governance: Implement standardized onboarding processes defined by leadership while ensuring full compliance with international data privacy standards (GDPR) and corporate security policies.

Minimum Qualifications

• Sufficient years of experience in client-facing technical roles (e.g., Solutions Architect, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or Pre-Sales Engineer).
• Deep technical expertise in Identity and Access Management (IAM), including IDP/IDaaS, SSO, SAML/SCIM, user provisioning, and access governance.
• Proven track record leading end-to-end, large-scale technical migration projects or global integration programs.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills with a strong consultative mindset-able to articulate complex technical concepts to non-technical executive stakeholders.
• Experience with web, mobile, or enterprise technology stacks and deploying large partner integrations.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on familiarity with leading Identity platforms (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, ForgeRock, SailPoint).
• Experience with API workflows, testing tools (Postman, Swagger), and API documentation.
• Knowledge of AdTech, digital marketing platforms, or digital advertising ecosystems.
• Professional fluency in an additional European language (e.g., French, German, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese).
• AI literacy-practical experience using generative AI tools to streamline technical workflows and increase productivity.

Performance Metrics

• Total volume and execution speed of client account onboardings across EMEA.
• Direct feedback contributions provided to internal product engineering teams.
• Effective stakeholder management and success in unblocking high-complexity integration challenges.
