Senior Identity and Access Management Analyst

📍 Faridabad 🏷️ Cybersecurity 💰 ₹69,500 / month

Sector 15 in Faridabad has a Senior Identity and Access Management Analyst opening, part time, on site, with a security team responsible for access governance across a mid-size enterprise environment. Eight years of experience is the expectation, and the part-time structure here means genuinely flexible in-office scheduling rather than reduced responsibility; the access reviews and incident response this role covers don't shrink just because the hours do.

The work covers monitoring systems for potential threats tied to access and identity, investigating and responding to security incidents, and implementing measures that protect company data without making legitimate access so cumbersome that people start looking for workarounds. Good IAM work is a balance between security and usability that a lot of analysts get wrong in one direction or the other.

What you'll be doing

  • Monitor identity and access systems for anomalous or unauthorized activity
  • Investigate and respond to access-related security incidents
  • Implement and review access control policies across systems and directory services
  • Support periodic access certification reviews for compliance purposes

Required skills are IAM tools, access control policy design, directory services such as Active Directory, and solid security fundamentals more broadly. A bachelor's degree in cybersecurity, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with a security certification such as CEH or CompTIA Security+ and proven familiarity with security monitoring, vulnerability assessment, and incident response.

Good to have

  • Experience with a specific IAM platform such as Okta or SailPoint
  • Familiarity with privileged access management concepts
  • Any background supporting compliance audits, such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001

Sector 15 sits in a well-established part of Faridabad's business district, and the environment this role covers spans several hundred employees across multiple departments, each with different access needs that shift as people change roles internally. Stale access, where someone keeps permissions from a role they left months ago, is a recurring problem this analyst is expected to catch during periodic reviews.

Naukri Mitra has listed a small number of cybersecurity roles from this employer, and the part-time structure specifically has attracted candidates balancing this role with other professional or personal commitments; the team has been explicit that they're looking for someone who can be fully present and sharp during their scheduled hours rather than someone treating it as a lesser priority.

Interviews include a scenario round on investigating a suspicious access pattern and a policy design discussion. Candidates who can explain the tradeoffs of a stricter access policy, not just recite security best practices, tend to interview better here.

Onboarding for this role runs roughly two to three weeks, split between shadowing a current team member and working through a small, low-risk real task under review before moving to independent ownership. The team has found that a slower, more deliberate ramp-up produces fewer costly mistakes down the line than throwing someone straight into full ownership from day one.

A dormant account with excessive privileges is one of the more common findings during access reviews, since permissions tend to accumulate as people change roles internally without anyone proactively removing what's no longer needed, and this analyst's periodic reviews exist specifically to catch that kind of quiet privilege creep.

Access reviews here run on a quarterly cycle for most systems and monthly for the most sensitive ones, and the analyst's judgment about which anomalies genuinely warrant escalation versus which are explainable by a legitimate role change is a distinction the team has learned, through past false alarms, matters a great deal for maintaining trust with the departments being reviewed.

The security team runs periodic internal audits comparing granted access against documented business justification, and the analyst is expected to flag any gap found, even when the access in question hasn't actually been misused, since undocumented justification is itself treated as a real finding worth addressing.

Benefits

  • Pro-rated paid leave
  • Flexible in-office scheduling
  • Performance-based incentives
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Faridabad

This role is based at Sector 15, Faridabad, pin code 121007, on site during scheduled part-time hours. Pay runs up to ₹69,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within five weeks.
