Team Introduction:
The mission of TikTok's Global Security Organization is to build and earn trust by reducing risk and securing our businesses and products. Also known as "GSO", this team is the foundation of our efforts to keep TikTok safe, secure, and operating at scale for over 1 billion people around the world. We work to ensure that the TikTok platform is safe and secure, that our users' experience and their data remains safe from external or internal threats, and that we comply with global regulations wherever TikTok operates.
Trust is one of TikTok's biggest initiatives, and security is integral to our success.

Key Responsibilities:
- Act as a key liaison between the IAM teams in the US and Singapore and various IT and business units in China and the Singapore region to drive the IAM program forward.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, application, platform, and security teams to assess the current state of IAM solutions and identify areas for improvement or remediation.
- Partner with business stakeholders to promote awareness, adoption, and integration of IAM capabilities across systems and applications.
- Work closely with IAM product teams developing in-house solutions across Authentication, Authorization, Privileged Access Management (PAM), and Secrets Management to deliver robust and scalable IAM capabilities.
