Lead the design of lifecycle automation processes, including onboarding/offboarding workflows and delegated administration.
• Continuously monitor identity infrastructure for availability, performance, and compliance. Review access logs, authentication telemetry, and audit events from sources like Entra ID, MidPoint, and identity federation gateways.
