This position reports to the Global Chief Information Security Officer and is part of the enterprise-wide Danaher Information Security (DIS) team; this is a remote associate role. In this role, you will have the opportunity to: Design PAM reference patterns — JIT/JEA, session isolation and recording, vault topology, break-glass, and non-human-identity/secrets management — that other teams adopt. Lead hands-on engineering of PAM platform configuration standards, integrations, and automation, including discovery, onboarding, and credential rotation. Govern privileged-account onboarding standards, exception requests, and break-glass procedures; drive remediation of coverage gaps across business units. Partner across identity, security operations, cloud, DevOps, infrastructure, and audit teams — each with their own architecture — to integrate privileged-access controls. Own the PAM platform and vendor relationship; report program status, risk posture, and metrics to security leadership and audit stakeholders. The essential requirements of the job include: 14+ years of cybersecurity experience with a focus on privileged access management or identity and access management. Experience designing and driving enterprise or global PAM architecture, operating model, or control framework — including governance and long-term sustainability — across multiple business units. Hands-on experience engineering enterprise PAM platforms (such as CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Delinea): privileged-account onboarding, vaulting, session management, rotation, and integrations. Experience working independently across IAM, security operations, cloud, infrastructure, and audit teams — each with their own architecture — to reduce privileged-access risk and support control evidence. It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in: Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field. Experience governing non-human / service-account and secrets management at scale. CISSP, CISM, or a relevant PAM platform leadership/practitioner certification. Experience managing globally distributed or matrixed teams and services. Danaher offers a broad array of comprehensive, competitive benefit programs that add value to our lives.
