Infrastructure Engineer contract opportunity; IAM experience required. Fully remote in NZ. Until end of June.

Tō kamupene hou | Your new company

You will be joining a large, complex organisation delivering critical services across New Zealand. The organisation is undertaking ongoing transformation and digital uplift, with a strong focus on security, resilience, and ensuring its identity and access platforms can adapt to continual organisational change.

Tō tūranga hou | Your new role

This is a design-focussed role, with the responsibility of shaping a future-state Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID model and supporting its successful implementation through change and stakeholder engagement.

The primary objective is to create a flexible, role‑aligned directory structure that is easier to manage, improves security and access alignment, and can adapt to ongoing organisational evolution with minimal impact on end users.

Over time, incremental changes have added complexity to the current environment. This engagement will address those challenges through pragmatic, well‑documented design that simplifies structure, supports role-based access, and establishes a more sustainable foundation going forward.
