• Support and refine the UAR methodologies, scope definitions, and governance standards
• Analyze and validate access listings and evidence to ensure data integrity and control effectiveness
• Collaborate with system owners and stakeholders to strengthen review execution and accountability
• Monitor review cycles, completion metrics, and remediation activities to improve transparency
• Maintain structured documentation and audit-ready evidence repositories
• Develop reporting initiatives to improve UAR efficiency and visibility
• Identify potential process gaps, inconsistencies, or control weaknesses and collaborate with senior team members for remediation.
• Identity lifecycle governance-related operational tasks, ensuring proper tracking, reporting, and process alignment.
• Support audit and compliance requirements related to identity governance controls.
• Collaborate with IT, Engineering, HR, and Compliance teams to enhance identity governance maturity.

About You

• 3-5 years of experience in IT, IT Security, IT Audit/Risk, Governance, or a related field.
• Understanding of Identity & Access Management (IAM) principles.
• Hands-on experience managing access control frameworks and user account lifecycle processes.
• Strong attention to detail and structured documentation skills.
• Exceptional analytical and critical thinking skills for IT security risk analysis.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, capable of working collaboratively across teams.
• Exposure to Identity Providers, IAM cloud or SaaS environments (e.g., AWS, Azure AD, Okta, etc.).
