What You Will Do

Identity Governance and Administration

• Lead the implementation, administration, operation, and continuous improvement of the Saviynt Identity Cloud platform, including application onboarding, connector integration, configuration, and platform health monitoring.
• Design, implement, and maintain role-based and attribute-based access control models (RBAC and ABAC), access governance standards, and entitlement structures.
• Develop and maintain automated Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) workflows that provision, modify, and deprovision access based on HR, directory, and other authoritative system events.
• Transition manual User Access Review (UAR) and certification campaigns to automated, periodic, and event-driven processes.
• Coordinate access reviews, entitlement certifications, and remediation activities, ensuring findings are tracked to closure and supported by audit-ready evidence.
• Build and optimize access request workflows, approval routing, and rules-based provisioning processes to reduce manual effort, prevent access creep, and improve the user experience.
• Identify and support the remediation of excessive privileges, orphaned accounts, inappropriate entitlements, Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts, and other identity-related risks.
• Integrate the IGA platform with HR systems, directories, cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and adjacent identity controls, including Privileged Access Management (PAM), Single Sign-On (SSO), and multifactor authentication (MFA).
• Troubleshoot identity workflows, provisioning processes, connector integrations, and platform configuration issues.
• Identify opportunities to improve IAM processes through automation, workflow optimization, analytics, and responsible use of AI.

 Privileged Access Management

• Administer, operate, and expand CyberArk/Idira Privileged Access Management capabilities, including privileged account discovery, onboarding, credential management, access workflows, and policy enforcement.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, application, cloud, and security teams to onboard privileged accounts, applications, and technology platforms into CyberArk.
• Monitor privileged access activity and investigate access-related security events, anomalous behaviour, and policy violations.
• Support the implementation and ongoing improvement of privileged access controls aligned with least privilege, Zero Trust, and regulatory requirements.
• Identify unmanaged, shared, dormant, or high-risk privileged accounts and coordinate their remediation.
• Support the integration of CyberArk with identity governance, directory, cloud, and security-monitoring platforms.

Governance, Reporting, and Advisory

• Develop metrics, dashboards, and reports covering identity governance, access certifications, JML performance, privileged account coverage, policy compliance, and remediation status.
• Produce documentation and evidence to support internal audits, external audits, risk assessments, and regulatory reviews.
• Act as a subject-matter expert and provide guidance to technical and business teams on identity security, access governance, and privileged access management best practices.
• Partner with business stakeholders, application owners, technology teams, Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit to implement sustainable identity controls.
• Lead identity security initiatives, drive process improvements, and contribute to the evolution of the organization’s IAM governance framework.

What You Bring

• Five or more years of relevant experience in Identity and Governance Administration, cybersecurity, or information security.
• Hands-on experience implementing or administering an IGA platform, preferably Saviynt Identity Cloud.
• Demonstrated experience designing and automating Joiner, Mover, and Leaver processes and managing User Access Review and certification campaigns in a production environment.
• Strong understanding of Identity Governance and Administration, Privileged Access Management, RBAC, ABAC, Segregation of Duties, least privilege, and Zero Trust principles.
• Experience with user provisioning and deprovisioning, entitlement management, access requests, access certifications, role engineering, and application onboarding.
• Experience administering or supporting CyberArk PAM.
• Experience integrating IGA platforms with HR systems, directories such as Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, and LDAP, and cloud and SaaS applications through connectors and APIs.
• Experience with identity technologies such as Saviynt, CyberArk, Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, AWS IAM, SSO, and MFA.
• Working knowledge of REST and SOAP APIs and experience using scripting or automation tools. PowerShell experience is considered an asset.
• Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks relevant to a regulated financial-services environment, including NIST, ISO 27001, CIS Controls, SOC 1, and Zero Trust architectures.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex identity, entitlement, workflow, and integration issues.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical teams, business stakeholders, application owners, auditors, and senior leaders.
• Demonstrated ability to lead initiatives, manage competing priorities, drive process improvements, and work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Relevant Saviynt, CyberArk, Microsoft, cloud, or identity security certifications are considered strong assets.
