Title: IAM PRODUCT/PROJECT MANAGER
Industry: NORTHERN BANK
Contract: 6+ months
Location: WOBURN, MA (ONSITE 5 DAYS A WEEK) local candidates
Role Overview
NB is seeking a strategic and adaptable professional to support an ongoing Identity & Access Management (IAM) initiative within a hybrid Agile/Waterfall environment. This individual will eventually step into a Product Owner role, helping drive clarity, accountability, and progress across a team that is still learning and evolving with the project.
Current Environment
- Hybrid Agile/Waterfall delivery model.
- Projects often lack upfront definition-requirements and stories are discovered iteratively.
- Teams work in stages (e.g., Stage 1, Stage 2), frequently uncovering gaps mid-process.
- Security demands are evolving faster than product delivery.
- New inputs (e.g., from FDIC) may require sudden scope adjustments.
- The team is learning as they go and needs someone who can bring structure without rigidity.
Project Focus
- The core product is Provision, part of the IAM ecosystem.
- The goal is for this person to become the Product Owner, managing both the IAM project and broader cybersecurity initiatives.
Team Dynamics
- Team members are laid-back, collaborative, and kind-but require consistent nudging to stay on track.
- The ideal candidate will be comfortable pushing others while maintaining positive relationships.
Experience Requirements
- Proven experience with IAM implementations.
- Solid cybersecurity background to understand technical terminology and context.
- Familiarity with Agile is helpful, but not essential-adaptability within a hybrid model is key.
