Job Descriptions:
In this contingent resource assignment, you may: Participate in low to moderately complex initiatives and identify opportunity for process improvements within Information Security Analysis.
Review and analyze basic or tactical Information Security Analysis assignments or challenges that require research, evaluation, and selection of alternatives, related to low-to-medium risk deliverables.
Present recommendations for resolving low to moderately complex situations and exercise some independent judgment while developing understanding of function, policies, procedures, and compliance requirements.
Provide information to client personnel in Information Security Analysis.
Required Qualifications:
2+ years of Information Security Analysis experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work or consulting experience, training, military experience, education.
Key Responsibilities:
• Administer RACF user IDs, groups, and profiles in alignment with enterprise IAM and security policies
• Perform user provisioning, deprovisioning, and access modifications across the identity lifecycle (joiner, mover, leaver)
• Support access request workflows, approvals, password resets, and remediation activities
• Maintain and update RACF dataset, general resource, and system profiles to ensure appropriate access controls
• Enforce least privilege and segregation of duties (SoD) requirements for mainframe resources
• Review and analyze RACF violations, SMF records, audit logs, and security reports
• Assist with periodic access reviews, recertifications, and entitlement validation efforts
• Document IAM processes, RACF procedures, and security standards
• Follow change management processes and ensure access changes are properly approved and recorded
• Troubleshoot RACF-related access issues and escalate complex cases to senior mainframe staff
Top Skills:
2-4 years Mainframe
2-4 years IAM experience
Change Management
Incident Management
Tech background
Falls under Identity and Access Management Operations, this team works in mainframe security for those using mainframe instead of Active Directory. Working in ART to get requests for mainframe provisioning and access. Monthly target is about 300-400 tickets, so about 12-15 tickets to process per day. Will be handling mostly BAU responsibilities.
RACF is the mainframe security suite, but this person doesn't have to know it. If they've worked with Topsecret or ACF2, that can be relevant. Doesn't need to know mainframe coding like COBOL, just command lines.
Scarcity of mainframe experience would allow for COBOL developers or anyone else with general mainframe experience. In absence of relevant Mainframe experience, access provisioning experience could be explored.
Position is technical enough that someone without tech background wouldn't be a fit. Someone with IAM background but in governance or other paperwork heavy group probably wouldn't be a fit. Needs to be able to run command prompts.
Monday to Friday typical business hours covering the Central and West. Most of the team sits in Charlotte, desire is to build out in the other regions to backfill retirements there. Hieu sits in Irving, so he'd like for this person to sit with him.
