About the Role

Our client is a leading insurance organization currently modernizing and expanding its Identity & Access Management capabilities. They are looking for an IAM / Okta Analyst to support the design, implementation, and validation of a Proof of Concept (POC) focused on Okta Authorization.

The organization already uses Okta for both internal employees and external customer portal users. The successful candidate will take ownership of the POC from analysis and configuration through application/API integration and testing, while also providing recommendations for the eventual production implementation.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys working across IAM architecture, Okta configuration, OAuth/OIDC integration, security testing, and troubleshooting.

Main Responsibilities

- Assess the existing Okta and IAM environment and identify requirements for the authorization POC.




- Define authorization use cases for internal and external users and design appropriate authorization models.
- Configure Okta Authorization Servers, scopes, claims, policies, and access tokens.
- Implement and integrate OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect flows with target applications and APIs.
- Develop and execute functional and security test scenarios while troubleshooting integration and configuration issues.
- Document the POC architecture, configuration, results, and recommendations while supporting knowledge transfer and production planning.

Qualifications

- Hands-on experience with Okta / Okta Identity Engine in enterprise environments.
- Solid understanding of IAM, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT, access tokens, scopes, claims, and audiences.
- Proven experience integrating applications and APIs with Identity Providers (IdP).
- Ability to work across the full lifecycle: analysis, configuration, integration, testing, and troubleshooting.
- Strong documentation, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently.
- Experience with API security, RBAC/ABAC, MFA, FIDO2/WebAuthn/Passkeys, or an Okta certification is considered a strong asset.
