IAM business systems analyst

IAM Business Systems Analyst

We need someone with experience in engaging the business to understand their pain points/roadblocks in IAM and perform solutioning. The client is looking for an IAM business systems analyst with hands-on engineering expertise. The role does require multiple facets within IAM, and I am happy to get on additional calls to clarify/brainstorm the requirements. However, it was never and should not be sandboxed as an engineer only. Must have LinkedIn profiles with a picture.
