Lime is the largest global shared micromobility business, operating in close to 30 countries across five continents. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered more than one billion rides in cities around the world. Named a 2025 Time 100 Most Influential Company, Lime continues to set the pace for shared micromobility globally, spurring a new generation of clean alternatives to car ownership.

The Identity & Access Management (IAM) team is a new, foundational group within Corporate Technology responsible for architecting, building, and running the systems that govern access to all corporate resources at Lime. This team will own the strategy and execution of our entire identity lifecycle, ensuring that the right people have the right access to the right resources at the right time. This role is critical to strengthening Lime’s security posture and supporting our public company readiness by building a scalable, compliant, and secure IAM program from the ground up.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned IAM expert who is passionate about building robust, automated systems. You will be responsible for translating a strategic roadmap into a fully operational program. You will lead the implementation of a new Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platform, centralize our Single Sign-On (SSO) processes, and serve as the subject matter expert on all things identity at Lime.

What You’ll do:

• Lead the greenfield implementation and long-term ownership of Lime’s enterprise IGA platform.

• Design, build, and automate the entire identity lifecycle (joiner, mover, leaver) to ensure seamless and secure transitions.

• Take ownership of all new application integrations for Single Sign-On (SSO), migrating this responsibility from other teams to centralize expertise.

• Collaborate with the security team to implement Zero Trust principles.

• Develop and manage automated user access review (UAR) campaigns to ensure continuous compliance with SOX and other regulatory requirements.

• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for internal and external auditors regarding all identity and access controls.

• Partner with cross-functional teams in HR, Legal, and Engineering to ensure IAM processes are effective and meet business needs.

• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for IAM architecture, configurations, and runbooks.

• Act as the highest tier of technical support for resolving complex identity and access issues.

About You:

• 5-7+ years of hands-on experience in Identity & Access Management.

• Expert-level knowledge of enterprise identity providers, with a strong preference for Okta.

• Proven experience implementing and managing an enterprise IGA platform (e.g., Saviynt, SailPoint, Okta IGA).

• Strong scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell) and experience leveraging APIs for identity workflows.

• Deep understanding of core security principles, including Zero Trust models, least privilege, and role-based access control (RBAC).

• Demonstrated experience with compliance frameworks such as SOX, GDPR, or CCPA.

• Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional projects.

• A customer-first mindset focused on creating secure yet frictionless access experiences for all of Lime’s employees.
