cloud DevOps engineertocloud identity manager
A cloud DevOps engineer already meets 48% of what the cloud identity manager role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
48%
50.5/ 100
1 Share of the cloud identity manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cloud DevOps engineer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A cloud identity manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a cloud DevOps engineer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- automate cloud tasks
- cloud security and compliance
- cloud technologies
- deploy cloud resource
- design for organisational complexity
- implement cloud security and compliance
What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cloud identity manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cloud DevOps engineer background worth leading with.
- already held deploy cloud resource working with computers
- already held design cloud networks communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held implement cloud security and compliance information skills
- already held cloud monitoring and reporting information and communication technologies (icts)
- already held develop with cloud services working with computers
- already held automate cloud tasks communication, collaboration and creativity
All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the cloud identity manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 12 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.
- required, not held maintain ICT identity management required
- required, not held adhere to organisational guidelines required
- required, not held follow company standards required
- required, not held follow work procedures required
- required, not held protect ICT devices required
- optional, not held manage IT security compliances optional
- required, not held liaise with managers required
- required, not held manage digital identity required
- required, not held information governance compliance required
- optional, not held DB2 optional
- optional, not held information security strategy optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a cloud identity manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 information governance compliance knowledge · occupation specific
- 02 maintain ICT identity management skill · sector specific
- 03 adhere to organisational guidelines skill · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
