About TURNBRIDGE

TURNBRIDGE delivers precision-driven technical solutions and talent strategies that help organizations scale securely and efficiently. We specialize in building durable, modern technology environments—prioritizing structure, security, and long-term impact over short-term fixes.

Role Overview

TURNBRIDGE is seeking a Senior Cloud & Identity Administrator to take ownership of a modern, cloud-first environment and elevate how identity, access, and cloud platforms are managed across the organization.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role, not a support or ticket-driven position. You will design and implement durable systems, standardize cloud operations, reduce risk, and ensure the environment can scale securely across a distributed workforce.

You will serve as a technical leader, shaping how access is managed, how systems are secured, and how cloud platforms are governed—bringing clarity and discipline to an environment that has grown quickly.

Core Responsibilities

Identity & Access Management (Primary Focus)

• Design and maintain a structured, role-based access control (RBAC) model
• Implement and refine access policies based on user context, device posture, and risk signals
• Enforce strong authentication standards across all users and systems
• Identify and remediate over-permissioned accounts and elevated access risks
• Enable and manage single sign-on (SSO) across critical applications
• Build, optimize, and document onboarding, role-change, and offboarding workflows
• Conduct regular access reviews and audits to ensure least-privilege access
• Maintain clear, accurate documentation of identity architecture and policies

Cloud Platform Ownership

• Administer and optimize core cloud productivity and infrastructure platforms
• Maintain tenant-level configurations with a strong focus on governance and consistency
• Oversee endpoint management policies across company-owned devices
• Establish secure configuration baselines and ensure consistent enforcement
• Continuously improve cloud posture using measurable benchmarks and controls

Security Enablement

• Partner with security leadership to deploy and maintain security controls
• Support detection and response capabilities through proper configuration of monitoring tools
• Assist in identifying and remediating vulnerabilities across the environment
• Strengthen logging, auditing, and traceability across systems
• Align configurations with recognized industry security frameworks and best practices

Application & SaaS Integration

• Integrate third-party platforms into centralized identity systems using secure authentication flows
• Evaluate new tools with a focus on access control, risk exposure, and operational fit
• Maintain governance over SaaS applications and their permissions
• Support multi-platform and hybrid environments where required

Infrastructure & Network Coordination

• Provide oversight for secure network configurations across multiple locations
• Improve visibility into infrastructure assets and configuration states
• Standardize remote access and perimeter security approaches
• Coordinate with external vendors when deeper infrastructure support is required

Operational Excellence & Automation

• Build and document repeatable workflows for account and access lifecycle management
• Introduce structured change management practices
• Develop and maintain internal documentation, SOPs, and system runbooks
• Automate repetitive administrative tasks using scripting tools (PowerShell or similar)
• Improve transparency into how systems are managed, maintained, and changed

Technical Leadership & Escalation

• Act as a senior escalation point for complex identity, access, and system issues
• Collaborate with peers to raise technical standards across the organization
• Focus on resolving root causes rather than applying temporary fixes
• Drive improvements that increase long-term stability, security, and scalability

Required Experience

• 5+ years working in cloud-based enterprise environments
• Deep experience managing identity platforms and access controls at scale
• Hands-on expertise with modern authentication methods and access policies
• Experience integrating third-party applications into centralized identity systems
• Familiarity with endpoint management across multiple operating systems
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (PowerShell or similar)
• Experience bringing structure to environments lacking documentation or consistency
• Ability to work independently while collaborating across technical and business teams

Preferred Experience

• Relevant cloud or identity certifications
• Experience supporting audit readiness or compliance initiatives
• Exposure to cloud security tooling and monitoring platforms
• Familiarity with multi-cloud or hybrid environments
• Experience standardizing infrastructure or network configurations
• Understanding of security benchmarks and best-practice frameworks
