About The Position

ZipStaff is seeking a Security Administration Analyst for access management at a financial services organization. You will execute provisioning, resolve access issues, and hold least-privilege standards with application owners and security coordinators. This is a hands-on IAM operations seat — not a security-architecture role and not a help-desk-only job.

Requirements

3–5 years in Information Security, Identity & Access Management, or related security administration.
Hands-on Active Directory , ServiceNow , RBAC , and an IAM platform such as SailPoint (or equivalent).
Advanced Excel (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, VBA).
Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet SLAs.
Ability to work on-site in Jersey City, NJ, including on-call and shift flexibility.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.

Nice To Haves

Scripting for automation (PowerShell, Python, SQL, or Java).
Financial services or another regulated environment.
ITIL.
Security+ or CISSP.

Responsibilities

Process user access and provisioning requests across systems and applications to SLA, with least privilege.
Support onboarding, transfers, and terminations, including the business purpose and risk of the access.
Handle standard and complex provisioning.
Investigate and resolve access incidents through ISM channels (hotline, service queues).
Validate requests with Security Coordinators and application / data owners.
Keep knowledge-base articles and control documentation current.
Support global coverage, including periodic shift changes, on-call rotation, and alternate schedules.
Look for workflow and automation improvements (scripting or IAM tools) and analyze recurring volume drivers.
Escalate access and data-protection risks in a timely way.
