Manager, Identity & Access Management

The posting, as Motional wrote it

Mission Summary

We are seeking a hands-on results-driven Manager of Identity & Access Management (IAM) to lead and modernize our enterprise identity ecosystem. As an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) company, our security footprint spans complex cloud environments, edge computing, vehicle-to-cloud infrastructure, federated ecosystem partners, and a diverse workforce.

You will provide technical thought leadership while managing Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), identity federation, SCIM integrations, custom IAM development, and our core Okta enterprise architecture. This role requires close cross-functional collaboration with HR, Engineering and End-User Services (EUS) to establish operational SLAs, track key metrics, transition OAuth security posture, and automate workforce lifecycle processes.

What you’ll be doing

• Thought Leadership & Governance: Define the long-term enterprise IAM roadmap, aligning identity security with Zero Trust principles, regulatory compliance, and the unique security demands of autonomous fleet operations.
• OAuth Security Strategy: Drive the strategic transition from user-consent to admin-consent frameworks across all SaaS and enterprise applications, establishing strict OAuth consent policies to minimize dynamic consent risks.
• Identity Federation & SSO: Architect and maintain secure identity federation across multi-cloud environments, B2B partner ecosystems, vendor portals, and external services utilizing SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the primary liaison to HR teams to streamline Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) workflows via HRIS integrations, and collaborate with End-User Services (EUS) & Endpoint Engineering to optimize identity lifecycle requests, service desk escalations, and user onboarding/offboarding experiences.
• SLAs & Metrics (KPIs): Define, track, and enforce operational SLAs for access request fulfillments, incident resolution, and account deprovisioning. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) measuring IAM system uptime, adoption of MFA/SSO, automation rates, and compliance readiness.
• Agentic IAM Strategy: Establish the enterprise identity foundation for governing autonomous AI systems and agentic identities. Define runtime authorization, least-privilege scoping, dynamic delegation, and auditability frameworks to ensure AI agents, autonomous models, and machine-learning workloads operate within secure, verifiable access boundaries.
• Okta Enterprise Management: Serve as the primary subject matter expert for Okta, managing SSO, Adaptive MFA, Lifecycle Management, and Workflows to ensure seamless, secure access.
• IGA & Compliance: Oversee enterprise Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) strategies across human workforce and non-human identities (service accounts, bots, microservices, and vehicle-to-cloud identities), lead RBAC/ABAC maturity, access recertification campaigns, and automated least-privilege enforcement

ible reality. We’re driven by something more.

Our journey is always people first.

We aren't just developing driverless cars; we're creating safer roadways, more equitable transportation options, and making our communities better places to live, work, and connect. Our team is made up of engineers, researchers, innovators, dreamers and doers, who are creating a technology with the potential to transform the way we move.

Higher purpose, greater impact.

We’re creating first-of-its-kind technology that will transform transportation. To do so successfully, we must design for everyone in our cities and on our roads. We believe in building a great place to work through a progressive, global culture that is diverse, inclusive, and ensures people feel valued at every level of the organization. Diversity helps us to see the world differently; it’s not only good for our business, it’s the right thing to do.

Scale up, not starting up.

Our team is behind some of the industry's largest leaps forward, including the first fully-autonomous cross-country drive in the U.S, the launch of the world's first robotaxi pilot, and operation of the world's longest-standing public robotaxi fleet. We’re driven to scale; we’re moving towards commercialization of our technology, and we need team members who are ready to embrace change and challenges.
