  • Ensure seamless onboarding, offboarding and access review processes to maintain security and minimize risks.
  • Manage IAM-related projects, driving continuous improvements in identity governance, workflows, and user experience.
  • Act as a liaison between business stakeholders and IAM technical teams to translate business needs into actionable IAM strategies.
  • Monitor and enhance IAM risk management processes, ensuring timely mitigation of security gaps.
  • Work with vendors, auditors, and regulatory bodies to ensure IAM operations adhere to best practices.
