Job Summary
The Information Security Analyst will support Mainframe Identity and Access Management (IAM) Operations, focusing on provisioning and access controls for users operating in a mainframe environment. This role supports business-as-usual (BAU) access management activities and works closely with request and change workflows to ensure secure, timely, and compliant access to mainframe systems.
The position is technically hands-on and best suited for professionals with a background in IAM operations, mainframe security, or related technical access administration. This role does not require mainframe application development experience (e.g., COBOL), but does require comfort working with command-line interfaces and security tooling.
Key Responsibilities
- Administer mainframe user access in alignment with enterprise Identity & Access Management (IAM) and security policies
- Perform access provisioning, deprovisioning, and modifications throughout the identity lifecycle (joiner, mover, leaver)
- Process and manage access requests through established request intake tools and workflows
- Handle an average of 12–15 access tickets per day (monthly volume approximately 300–400 tickets)
- Support password resets, approvals, remediation tasks, and access troubleshooting
- Apply change management and incident management procedures for access-related activities
- Maintain accurate documentation of IAM processes and operational procedures
- Enforce least-privilege and segregation-of-duties (SoD) controls for mainframe access
- Investigate and resolve access issues, escalating complex problems when necessary
Required Qualifications
- 2–4 years of experience in Mainframe, Identity & Access Management, or Access Provisioning roles
- Technical background with the ability to work in command-line or system-level environments
- Experience with operational IAM work (not governance- or documentation-only roles)
- Familiarity with access request, change, and incident management processes
- Ability to manage high-volume, repeatable BAU workloads with attention to detail
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with mainframe security tools such as RACF, Top Secret, or ACF2
- Exposure to mainframe user and group access administration
- Background in enterprise security or infrastructure operations
- Prior experience supporting regulated or audited environments
Note: RACF knowledge is helpful but not required. Candidates with general mainframe experience (including former COBOL developers or infrastructure professionals) or strong access provisioning experience will be considered.
