We are seeking an accomplished, visionary leader to join our team, focusing on the critical area of Identity and Access Management. In this Lead role, you will be responsible for defining the technical roadmap, establishing our center of excellence, and overseeing the design, implementation, and mentorship of our Active Directory strategy. You will leverage your expertise to drive best practices in directory services, authentication, and authorization, empowering our teams to proactively secure our environment, optimize user access, and deliver a seamless, secure user experience. Coupa operates an open and autonomous work culture, where employees are challenged and critical thinking is encouraged. We operate an inverted organization structure, meaning we support our employees, not manage them. This is core to our culture and we do everything we can to foster an entrepreneurial spirit within our team as we strive for personal and organizational excellence.\nWhat You'll Do:\nArchitect and maintain an 'Identity-as-Code' ecosystem, utilizing CI/CD pipelines to automate directory changes, security policy updates, and infrastructure provisioning for our global Active Directory

point for complex and critical Active Directory-related incidents, demonstrating advanced troubleshooting skills and a commitment to root cause analysis and resolution.\nImplement advanced observability and alerting in New Relic and other tools for directory services, focusing on continuous monitoring of directory health, performance, and overall system reliability.\nDefine and govern the AD Delegation and Tiered Administration model to ensure strict adherence to the principle of least privilege across the enterprise.\nSpearhead the onboarding and integration of applications and services with modern identity platforms such as Okta for authentication and authorization.\nMentor teams on security best practices, driving continuous improvement in identity reliability and lifecycle management.\nOwn and publish standards/best practice documentation for identity architecture, administration, and security, serving as the domain's authority.\nWhat You Will Bring to Coupa:\n Mandatory expertise: Deep expertise in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), including DNS, DHCP, Certificate Services, and Group Policy Object (GPO) Management.\nPreferred: Experience with cloud-based directory services such as AWS Directory Service and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD/Entra ID).\nDeep understanding of modern Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) processes, including automated user lifecycle management, RBAC/ABAC methodologies, and compliance reporting.\nProven experience implementing GitOps workflows for infrastructure configuration, with proficiency in tools such as Terraform, Chef, Ansible, or PowerShell DSC for state management.\nFamiliarity with directory log analysis (e.g., via SIEM tools like Azure Sentinel) for troubleshooting and health monitoring.\n7+ years of progressive experience in IT, Systems Engineering, DevOps, or Identity Engineering, with a minimum of 2+ years in a technical leadership role.\nProven track record of defining and driving technical roadmaps for identity and access management platforms.\nCompetency in PowerShell, Python, or equivalent scripting languages for automation.\nExperience building & running modern identity solutions using public cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP).\nSolid understanding of networking systems and protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP).\nStrong communicator and cross-team collaborator with a passion for solving complex problems.\nBachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4165,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
