• Manage and continuously improve application onboarding and user access lifecycle (joiner, mover, leaver) processes
• Develop, support, and eventually own integrations with enterprise applications and identity systems
• Support and serve as a subject matter resource for SSO, MFA, and directory services (e.g., Active Directory, Azure AD)
• Troubleshoot and resolve IAM-related issues, progressing to leading root cause analysis and long-term improvements
• Collaborate with IT, security, and business teams, while helping influence consistent IAM standards and best practices
• Support and lead access reviews, audits, and compliance activities
• Create, maintain, and enhance technical documentation, procedures, and user guidance
• Contribute to and drive continuous improvement efforts, including automation, scalability, and process optimization

Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in management information systems (MIS), computer science or related technical field or equivalent work experience. (Typically four years of related, progressive work experience would be needed for candidates applying for this position who do not possess a bachelor's degree.)

A minimum of two years of experience in software application design, development, integration, or implementation, preferably with exposure to identity and access management or security-related systems for level II.

A minimum of five year of experience in software application design, development, integration, or implementation, preferably with exposure to identity and access management or security-related systems for level III.

Hands-on experience developing and configuring access management solutions, with increasing complexity and ownership over time

Experience with automating user provisioning, reporting, and workflows using industry-standard platforms and scripting/programming languages (e.g., PowerShell, Python, Ansible, Terraform), with deeper expertise expected at more advanced levels

Strong understanding of IAM principles and best practices, with the ability to apply them in practical scenarios and contribute to evolving standards

Working knowledge of authentication and authorization protocols and tokens (e.g., SAML assertions, OAuth claims, grants, scopes)

Experience with IAM technologies and tools such as Microsoft IAM, Oracle IAM, SailPoint, Saviynt, Active Directory, LDAP, identity providers (IdPs), and Single Sign-On solutions

Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, GCP) and their identity and access management capabilities

Understanding of security and control frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA/HITRUST), with growing involvement in audit and compliance activities (e.g., SOX, SOC, GDPR)

Experience working with relational databases (e.g., MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server)

Familiarity with industry-specific regulatory and security requirements (e.g., healthcare, privacy, financial services)

Relevant professional certifications (e.g., CISSP, GIAC, OSCP) are a plus and may be more common at more advanced levels
