Tenant & Workforce Identity Manager (EMS 3)
WaTech: Leading the way in technology!
Washington Technology Solutions (WaTech) is at the forefront nationally in integrating innovative technologies that revolutionize how state services are delivered to the people of Washington. WaTech establishes the strategic technological framework for various state domains and programs, overseeing the primary technology services throughout the state.
About the opportunity:
This position is a part of the Tenant and Workforce Identity unit within the Computing Services Division (CSD). The unit provides Microsoft cloud, workforce identity, and tenant governance services that support authentication, access, enterprise integration, and secure administration of shared enterprise platforms. This position reports directly to the Assistant Director, Computing Services Division.
The Tenant Workforce Identity Manager independently manages enterprise-level risk, establishes operational priorities, and provides oversight for identity and tenant services that directly impact agency access to critical systems and statewide digital services. This role is responsible for establishing and maintaining governance, operational standards, and enterprise controls for workforce identity and access management services including Enterprise Active Directory (EAD), Entra ID, federation services, privileged administration, identity synchronization, conditional access, multifactor authentication, and third-party application integration governance.
Telework:
This position is approved for telework; however, a hybrid work arrangement within Washington State is supported, with periodic in-office presence for leadership coordination, customer engagement, and events that affect service delivery. The role requires availability for on-site support or coordination during major incidents or service disruptions. To meet these onsite business needs, the position must reside within the State of Washington.

We seek to attract and retain a diverse staff and welcome your experiences, perspectives and unique identity.
