Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Everest Consultants, Inc. is recruiting for a client seeking a Technical Senior Business Analyst to lead the Machine Identity and Agentic AI Governance program. The role will drive the rollout of a non-human identity governance platform, establish operational workflows and controls, and coordinate across Identity Management, Cloud Operations, Enterprise Applications, Cybersecurity, and AI teams.
Responsibilities
- Drive the end-to-end deployment of HTS's NHI governance platform across client's environment, including integration with cloud platforms, identity providers, SaaS tools, and internal systems
- Partner with engineers and analysts on the IAM team to define and build the operational model for NHI discovery, classification, ownership assignment, and lifecycle management
- Develop dashboards, alerting, and reporting that give HTS and business stakeholders real-time visibility into machine identity posture
- Establish intake, assessment, and approval workflows for new machine identities and agent credentials across lines of business
- Partner with domain SMEs to define lifecycle management processes — provisioning, rotation, access reviews, and decommissioning — for secrets, service accounts, API keys, and OAuth tokens
- Identify ungoverned or orphaned credentials and drive remediation in collaboration with Cloud, Identity, and Engineering teams
- Serve as the operational connective tissue between Identity Management, Cloud Operations, Enterprise Applications, and the Cybersecurity team
- Partner with the Cyber team to translate policy into enforceable, automated controls
- Collaborate with the AI team and lines of business to enable governed adoption of agentic AI — governance as an enabler, not a bottleneck
- Represent HTS in cross-functional forums on AI governance and machine identity strategy
- Build and maintain runbooks, standards, and documentation for machine identity operations
- Track metrics that demonstrate risk reduction and operational maturity over time
- Stay current on the evolving NHI and agentic AI threat landscape and bring relevant practices back to HTS
Skills
- (This role requires proven experience driving complex, high-visibility projects across multiple teams — both technical and business — within a large organization.)
- Experience in Identity and Access Management (IAM), preferably including Identity Governance and Non-Human Identity (NHI) programs
- Strong technical project management experience — able to assess priority and risk, keep complex implementations on track, and proactively surface risks and ask for help rather than let issues surface late
- Solid technical grounding in modern integration technology, including APIs, cloud platforms, connectors, REST, SCIM, and enterprise system integrations
- Familiarity with OAuth, OIDC, SAML, and API key-based authentication patterns
- Business analysis experience, including the ability to gather requirements and produce technical requirements documents, design documents, and related program artifacts
- Conceptual understanding of secrets management platforms (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault) and/or non-human identity tooling, sufficient to work effectively with the engineers implementing product customizations
- Conceptual understanding of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and how machine identities are created and used within them
- Ability to work across organizational boundaries: you're as comfortable in a technical deep-dive with engineers as you are presenting risk posture to stakeholders
- Clear, structured communicator — written and verbal
- Experience with NHI governance or secrets security platforms (e.g., Entro Security, Astrix, Elimity, or similar)
- Background in or exposure to agentic AI frameworks and how AI agents authenticate to services
- Relevant certifications (CISSP, CCSP, cloud provider security certs)
- Experience in media, publishing, or other data-sensitive industries

- Medical, dental, & vision insurance
