•    Work with IT team and consultants to set up new controls’ environment in new tool (GRC AC-access controls & GRC PC- process controls)

•    Assist with initial configuration of GRC Access Control (AC) and GRC Process Control (PC). Assist in testing and resolution of issues relative to the controls under your scope.

•    Assist other Magellan workstream as needed on controls topics (Master Data, SOD, Privacy/GDPR, regional questions on Magellan, etc.)
