The Role
We're looking for a hands-on IAM Consultant/Developer to join Colibri Digital on client engagement, supporting a major Microsoft Entra ID implementation.
We're looking for a hands-on IAM Consultant/Developer to join Colibri Digital on client engagement, supporting a major Microsoft Entra ID implementation.
This is a hands-on delivery role requiring someone who can combine IAM architecture and design with practical implementation experience. You’ll play a key role in delivering the migration to Microsoft Entra ID, working across discovery, target state design, migration execution, security and handover.
This is not a steady-state IAM administration role. We're looking for someone who has previously delivered complex identity migration/implementation projects and is comfortable operating within a fast-paced client consulting environment.
What You'll Be Doing
- Discovery & design — audit the existing identity estate (on-prem AD, and/or third-party IdP such as Okta or Ping) and design the target-state architecture in Microsoft Entra ID.
- Migration execution — plan and run the cutover, including phased/staged migration approaches to minimise disruption to live services.
- Hybrid identity — configure and manage synchronization between on-prem and cloud using Microsoft Entra Connect or Entra Cloud Sync during the transition period.
- Authentication & security — implement MFA, Conditional Access policies, and passwordless sign-in aligned to Zero Trust principles.
- Application integration — migrate or re-establish SSO for enterprise applications using SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OIDC.
- Identity governance — stand up Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Entitlement Management (access packages), and Access Reviews as part of the target state.
- Cutover support & troubleshooting — monitor sign-in/audit logs and identity protection signals during and after migration to catch issues early.
- Documentation & handover — leave the operations team with clear runbooks and a clean handover once migration is complete.
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- Proven experience delivering a migration onto Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) — from on-prem AD DS or from a third-party IdP (Okta, Ping, ForgeRock, etc.).
- Demonstrable Experience owning migrations of large user bases (500k+)
- Strong working knowledge of Conditional Access, Zero Trust security models, and modern authentication protocols (SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OIDC).
- Experience with DNS, TLS certificates and Load Balancers.
- Confident PowerShell scripting for identity lifecycle automation, ideally via the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK.
- Comfortable working independently and communicating migration risk/status to non-technical stakeholders.
Desirable:
- KQL for log analysis in Microsoft Sentinel or Azure Monitor.
- Experience with Entra ID B2B/B2C.
- Background with an alternative IAM platform (ForgeRock, Ping, Okta) — genuinely useful for migration work, since you understand what you're migrating from, not just what you're migrating to.
- Experience with API Gateway, API Management platforms
Certifications (nice to have, not mandatory):
- SC-300 (Identity and Access Administrator Associate)
- SC-100 (Cybersecurity Architect Expert)
- SC-500 (Cloud and AI Security Engineer Associate)
- CISSP
