Leverage your Career within the greatest Identity Security Community
We champion #IAMExcellence
At iC Consult, the world’s largest independent Identity Security consultancy, we help governments, critical infrastructure providers, financial institutions, and global enterprises build secure, compliant, and future-ready identity ecosystems. As digital sovereignty and regulatory independence become board-level priorities, Identity Security is emerging as a strategic business enabler – and we’re expanding our leadership in this space.
We are looking for a Strategic Sales Executive (m/f/d) to drive our Sovereignty and Service Layers business globally. Service Layers is iC Consult’s patented IAM automation platform, combining best-of-breed Identity Security technologies with cloud-native automation and infrastructure-as-code principles – giving customers the agility of Identity-as-a-Service without giving up control over their infrastructure, data, operations, and compliance.
