Overview

We are seeking an experienced Business Analyst to support a large-scale Identity and Access Management (IAM) initiative centered on the SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) platform. This role will work closely with business offices and technical teams to ensure application onboarding and access governance processes are accurate, complete, and delivered on time.

Scope of Role

The Business Analyst will oversee and collaborate with various business offices to ensure all information required for automated application provisioning through SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) is accurate, complete, and timely. This includes guiding business partners through the connected-system onboarding process within IIQ, ensuring each application’s attributes, entitlements, ownership structures, and lifecycle events are correctly defined for successful integration.

The role requires understanding and communicating the benefits of connecting business applications to IIQ, including improved access governance, reduced manual workload, and strengthened compliance controls — while identifying technical or operational impacts that integration may introduce.

Requirements gathered by the Business Analyst will be documented, validated with stakeholders, and prioritized for review by the IIQ team’s Senior Developer and Technical Analyst, who will assess system connectivity needs, attribute mapping, workflow impacts, and provisioning logic for alignment with IIQ standards and identity governance frameworks.

Education

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Administration, Communications, Information Systems, or a related field is required. Equivalent work experience may substitute for the educational requirement.

• Knowledge of Florida Administrative Code Rules 60GG-1 – 60GG-5 highly desired
• Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) highly desired
• Experience directing and managing project resources highly desired
• Knowledge of change and release management highly desired
• Experience with Microsoft Power BI highly desired
• Experience with Microsoft DevOps highly desired
• Experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) highly desired

• Business-to-Technical Translation: Serve as the technical bridge, transforming raw business access needs into structured Provisioning Policies and Attribute Mapping requirements developers can execute without ambiguity.
• Stakeholder Expectation Management: Conduct discovery workshops with business owners to manage expectations regarding what IIQ can automate versus what requires manual approval or custom workflow development.
• Compliance & Audit Documentation: Lead the definition of Access Certification requirements, ensuring integrated applications meet audit and compliance standards defined by the project’s governance framework.
• Defect & Impact Analysis: Systematically document potential operational impacts of new connectors, proactively identifying where automated provisioning might break legacy processes, and providing mitigation strategies before implementation.
• Validation & User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Coordinate the validation phase by developing test cases based on documented requirements, ensuring IIQ configuration satisfies business owner needs before final sign-off.
• Prioritization & Backlog Grooming: Maintain the requirements backlog, ensuring technical tasks are prioritized based on business value and compliance risk to effectively manage the project roadmap.
