Job Title: Mainframe Identity & Access Management (IAM) Specialist – RACF / Top Secret

Location: Saskatchewan, Canada – Remote within Saskatchewan

Job Type: Contract

Contract Length: 6 months, with potential 6-month extension

About the Opportunity ISM is looking for an experienced Mainframe Identity & Access Management (IAM) Specialist to support enterprise clients across complex technology environments.

This is a Saskatchewan-based opportunity, and we are particularly interested in connecting with experienced professionals currently located in Saskatchewan or with strong ties to the province.

This is not a general IAM or Active Directory role. The successful candidate must bring strong, hands-on experience administering security and user access within IBM z/OS mainframe environments, specifically using RACF and/or Broadcom Top Secret.

The role will focus on mainframe identity administration, user provisioning and deprovisioning, security profiles, access permissions, user lifecycle management, access reviews and security/compliance activities.

What You'll Be Doing

- Provision, modify and deprovision user accounts within enterprise mainframe environments
- Administer user groups, roles, permissions and security profiles
- Manage mainframe access using RACF and/or Broadcom Top Secret within z/OS
- Support the complete user-access lifecycle, including onboarding, access changes and offboarding
- Perform and support periodic user-access reviews and recertification
- Investigate and resolve user-access, authorization and permission issues
- Support security, audit, governance and compliance requirements related to mainframe access
- Maintain accurate documentation of access requests, approvals, changes and security configurations
- Collaborate with security, technical and business teams to ensure appropriate access
- Work within established IT service-management and ticketing processes

What We're Looking For Mainframe experience is essential for this position. The ideal candidate will have:





- Hands-on experience administering RACF and/or Broadcom Top Secret
- Strong experience working within an IBM z/OS mainframe environment
- Mainframe Identity & Access Management (IAM) experience
- User account provisioning, modification and deprovisioning experience
- User/group/role and security-profile administration
- Experience supporting the full identity and user-access lifecycle
- Experience with Active Directory
- Strong knowledge of computer security, access controls, authentication and authorization
- Experience supporting access reviews, audits and compliance activities
- Scripting knowledge and experience following structured scripting/automation practices
- Experience with an ITSM/ticketing platform, with ServiceNow preferred
- ITIL certification or experience working within an ITIL environment is considered an asset

The Mainframe Experience We're Specifically Looking For Please apply if you have direct experience with technologies/environments such as: IBM z/OS | RACF | Broadcom Top Secret | Mainframe Security | Mainframe IAM | Identity & Access Management | User Provisioning | Access Administration | Security Profiles | Access Recertification | Active Directory | ServiceNow | ITSM

Candidates whose experience is primarily Active Directory, Entra ID/Azure AD or general IAM without hands-on z/OS/RACF/Top Secret experience may not be suitable for this particular prospect.

Interview Process Candidates selected to move forward can expect a skills-based assessment followed by one Microsoft Teams interview.

Interested? If you're a Saskatchewan-based IAM professional with hands-on mainframe security administration experience, we'd love to hear from you.

Please apply with an updated resume that clearly identifies your experience with z/OS, RACF and/or Broadcom Top Secret, including the environments in which you used these technologies.
