ABOUT KALLES GROUP:

Everyone deserves to be secure. Our mission at Kalles Group is to help secure the future for companies of all shapes and sizes.

While our expertise spans multiple disciplines, our method remains consistent: building trust and relationship with people -- whether you are a client, a consultant, or--in this case--a candidate.

No matter what role you come from--whether you're an executive or just starting your career-you can expect our highest level of attention and respect. We want to find the right fit for each role, but we also want you to find the right fit for your career.

We believe the best way to show you what our team is like is to treat you like you're already a part of it. We hope you'll consider joining our team of experienced professionals who are building their careers at Kalles Group—and having fun while doing it.

WHAT YOU WILL DO: 

We’re supporting one of the largest credit unions in the US on a highly visible Customer Identity & Access Management (CIAM) program led by an emerging leader in their organization. This is a 6-month contract role (with potential extension/convert to FTE in 2026) designed to take over the Product Owner function and provide both delivery leadership and advisory support to the CIAM team.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Serve as Product Owner for the CIAM scrum team — manage the backlog, run sprints, and drive agile delivery.

• Partner with engineering and business stakeholders to ensure smooth integration and alignment on priorities.

• Provide delivery leadership and advisory support across CIAM initiatives.

• Leverage Azure DevOps (ADO) to plan, track, and report on sprint progress and release readiness.

• Guide conversations on identity standards and protocols (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML 2.0, SCIM).

• Support vendor solution integration, with a focus on Ping Identity (PingOne, PingOne AS) and related IAM platforms.

• Flex into Business Systems Analysis and Release Management support when required.

ABOUT YOU:

Your values:

• • Integrity: You believe in doing the right thing, even when it's uncomfortable, seemingly inefficient, or costly.
  • Purposefulness: You have a desire to serve others with your skillset and an openness to continuous learning and growth.
  • Ownership: You stick to your commitments, follow up with action, and seek clarity in communication & expectations.

YOUR EXPERIENCE:

• Proven Product Owner experience in agile delivery, ideally within IAM or CIAM programs.

• Strong familiarity with IAM/CIAM concepts and technologies; Ping Identity exposure is highly desirable.

• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps; exposure to Azure and GitHub environments.

• Working knowledge of authentication and identity federation protocols (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML 2.0, SCIM).

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate with cross-functional teams and influence technical discussions.

• Comfortable balancing priorities and adapting to multiple delivery roles as needed.

 WHAT WE OFFER:

• The annual salary range for this role is $120,000-$140,000.  We also would consider C2C at $70-90/hour.
• Work/life balance – we know there’s more to life than work! We encourage our team to pursue other passions, get outside, and spend time with family. We work with clients and consultants to set expectations for a manageable workload.
