About the position

Lincoln National Corporation is seeking an IT Security-Access Validation Analyst to facilitate and modernize the overall process of access management to Lincoln systems, applications, data centers, source code management tools, databases, privileged access, and system IDs. This role is crucial in managing Lincoln's responses to new and additional validation requests from auditors and management, ensuring the proper day-to-day operation of Access Validation and Security Compliance.
