IAM SME

Role purpose

At Prevalent AI, we empower organizations to take control of every risk across every attack surface. Our clients rely on our cutting-edge Security Data Fabric as the foundation for comprehensive Exposure Management, enabling enhanced decision-making. By helping clients see everything, fix what matters and stop attacks before they happen, we’re reshaping the future of security.

As an IAM SME, you will work closely with client architects, internal product teams, and AI architecture groups to define secure IAM patterns, assess identity risk, and ensure identity is foundational to Prevalent AI’s Data Fabric and Exposure Management capabilities. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys shaping direction, influencing design decisions, and securing complex ecosystems through thought leadership.
