Support segregation of duties (SoD) controls, access policy enforcement, and audit readiness activities. Troubleshoot and resolve complex identity lifecycle, provisioning, and access-related issues across integrated systems. Collaborate with Security, HR, Compliance, and Infrastructure teams to ensure identity governance controls align with security policies and regulatory requirements. Maintain technical documentation, configuration standards, and operational runbooks to support scalable and repeatable IGA operations. Continuously identify opportunities to improve access governance maturity, reduce manual effort, and enhance user experience through automation and platform enhancements.
