Duration: 12+ Months

ABOUT POSITION:

Experience Required: 15+ Years

We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to lead a large-scale Identity and Access Management (IAM) transformation program focused on SailPoint IdentityIQ and Mainframe security (RACF).

This role requires end-to-end ownership of delivery, encompassing identity source-of-truth implementation, lifecycle automation, and mainframe Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) decoupling.

The ideal candidate will possess strong program management expertise combined with a solid technical understanding of SailPoint integrations, identity lifecycle processes, and legacy system transformations.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of IAM transformation initiatives across SailPoint and Mainframe ecosystems.

Drive program governance, stakeholder communication, risk management, and milestone tracking across multiple parallel workstreams.

Manage dependencies across upstream HR systems (Workday), SailPoint IdentityIQ, Microsoft Active Directory, downstream applications, and mainframe environments.

Oversee the design and implementation of direct integration between Workday and SailPoint, eliminating reliance on intermediate data sources.

Ensure implementation of identity aggregation, correlation, transformation logic, and immutable identity generation within SailPoint.

Drive attribute write-back capabilities (e.g., logon ID, email) and consistent identity propagation across enterprise systems.

Lead assessment, standardization, and automation of Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) lifecycle processes for employees, contractors, and non-human accounts.

Oversee onboarding of applications into SailPoint using standard connectors and frameworks, enabling automated provisioning and deprovisioning.

Drive adoption of out-of-the-box capabilities for contractor onboarding, self-service access requests, and identity management workflows.

Enhance access management workflows, audit logging, and compliance controls aligned with organizational policies.

Oversee discovery and analysis of RACF/mainframe security profiles and drive translation into RBAC models aligned with enterprise standards.

Manage design and implementation of RBAC roles across Microsoft Active Directory, Cognos, Oracle EBS Financials, and other enterprise systems aligned to mainframe logic.

Drive replication and validation of mainframe security constructs into SailPoint or target RBAC models.

Ensure smooth transition of provisioning ownership from mainframe systems to centralized platforms by disabling legacy mechanisms.

Lead planning and execution of controlled decoupling and production cutover, including validation checkpoints and stakeholder sign-offs.

Define and drive a comprehensive testing strategy including System Integration Testing, UAT, and regression testing across all transformation components.

Facilitate design workshops, backlog prioritization, sprint planning, and delivery tracking in agile environments.

Collaborate closely with architects, engineering teams, and business stakeholders to ensure solution alignment and delivery quality
