Microsoft Entra IAM Specialist (PoC)
About the assignment
A leading healthcare organisation is exploring how to manage identity and access for an agentic development platform. The core question: how do you govern identities, roles and permissions for agents, applications and users in Microsoft Entra?
You'll lead a proof-of-concept in Q4 to gain hands-on knowledge and validate IAM architecture. This isn't just a technical build—it's about uncovering requirements and determining which capabilities Entra provides and where additional Identity Governance tools fit.
Your insights will shape the organisation's IAM strategy for years to come.
Your responsibilities
- Advise on identity and access management architecture within Microsoft Entra for agents and applications
- Design role-based access control (RBAC) and role management structures for multiple identity types
- Configure Entra roles, groups, app roles and authorisation models; work with service principals, managed identities and workload identities
- Investigate identity lifecycle management and governance patterns specific to non-human identities
- Determine which IAM functions Entra can deliver and where additional IGA platforms add value
- Collaborate with architects and the development team to surface requirements and translate them into concrete technical designs
- Document findings, assumptions and recommendations to guide future IAM implementation
- Support technical realisation of the proof-of-concept end-to-end
