ICAM Specialist - Remote

Advance how our customers operate while you advance your career. Join GDIT as an Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) Specialist and build an impactful career in enterprise IT, collaborating with people who are driven and resourceful like you.

The Case Management Modernization (CMM) Program is an initiative to support the Administrative Office of the (AO) US Courts develop a modern cloud-based solution to support all federal courts across the United States which are grouped into three types, namely Appellate, District, and Bankruptcy.
