• Help application owners design role structures and access models that reduce complexity and improve long‑term maintainability.
• Develop and maintain metrics and reporting related to UACs, integrations, provisioning health, and access hygiene.
• Analyze provisioning and de‑provisioning issues, identify root causes, and recommend scalable, long‑term solutions.
• Use Generative AI to identify anomalies, surface control gaps, reduce manual effort, and standardize access patterns.
• Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for IAM enhancements and defect fixes.
• Create, maintain, and continuously improve clear, actionable IAM documentation, standards, and process guidance.
• Participate in IAM initiatives and cross‑functional projects that improve identity governance maturity across the organization.

• 2+ years of experience in IAM administration, access governance, or closely related security or identity work.
• A solid understanding of IAM principles, including access lifecycle management, provisioning, de‑provisioning, and role‑based access concepts.
• Hands‑on exposure to IAM platforms such as SailPoint, BeyondTrust, Okta, Oracle Identity Manager, or similar tools.
• Experience working directly with end users and application owners to gather access requirements and translate them into IAM‑managed solutions.
• Strong documentation skills, with the ability to follow, improve, and evolve written processes and standards.
• Ability to work independently, follow documented procedures, and proactively improve processes as gaps or inefficiencies are identified.
• Clear, professional communication skills, including the ability to explain IAM concepts to non‑technical application owners and stakeholders.
• Comfort operating in regulated environments and partnering across technical, security, and business teams.
• An analytical mindset with the ability to identify issues, establish facts, and recommend risk‑aware solutions.
