  • Review AD configurations, processes, and documentation to understand the client’s current deployment and operating model.
  • Identify configuration and operational gaps in the client’s AD domains, infrastructure, architecture, and deployment.
  • Prioritize identified gaps based on criticality and risk.
  • Provide recommendations to address critical gaps and risks across AD and Entra ID environments.
  • Discover and assess current processes for AD group management, AD group policy management, and AD account management.
  • Suggest modifications and refinements to existing processes and create new processes if required.
  • Determine the resources and skills necessary to complete remediation activities and achieve defined milestones.
  • Provide an estimated budget to accomplish remediation as outlined during the assessment phases.
  • Leverage client tools such as ADUC (Active Directory Users & Computers), ManageEngine, StealthAUDIT, or other AD scanning utilities as needed to accomplish data-gathering activities.
What You Bring
  • Strong experience as an Active Directory Architect, including domain consolidation, AD assessment, and enterprise identity infrastructure review.
  • Hands-on knowledge of Active Directory forest, site, domain, OU, security group, authentication, and group policy design.
  • Experience assessing Azure/Entra ID deployments and hybrid identity environments.
  • Ability to run and interpret PowerShell queries against AD domains to gather statistics on users, accounts, groups, OUs, computer objects, and related AD/Azure objects.
  • Experience using SailPoint reports for AD group and account ownership and membership analysis.
  • Ability to identify configuration and operational gaps and prioritize them based on criticality and risk.
  • Experience reviewing AD configurations, processes, and documentation.
  • Working knowledge of tools such as ADUC, ManageEngine, StealthAUDIT, and other AD scanning utilities.
  • Ability to provide practical recommendations, remediation planning inputs, resource estimates, skill requirements, and budget estimates.
  • Strong communication skills to document findings, recommendations, risks, and remediation plans for stakeholders.
Nice to have - Optional

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
