• Compile, merge, reconcile, and normalize IAM, application, and system datasets.
• Map users to applications/systems and classify control planes and IAM platforms.
• Perform gap analysis, risk assessment, and inconsistency identification.
• Identify duplicate records and resolve data mismatches across multiple sources.
• Inventory authentication methods and categorize applications based on IAM/security requirements.
• Analyze access patterns, validate application groupings, and prioritize applications for IAM implementation.
• Conduct data/system assessments and validate IAM definitions and controls.
• Gather and document business and technical requirements.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across IAM, Security, Application, Risk, Compliance, and business teams to drive alignment.

• Strong understanding of IAM data analysis and reconciliation.
• Experience with Access Governance and Entitlement Analysis.
• Experience performing risk analysis and gap assessments.
• Strong experience developing IAM runbooks, playbooks, SOPs, or process documentation.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and requirements-gathering skills.
• Ability to analyze complex datasets and identify inconsistencies, duplicates, and data-quality issues.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with IAM/IGA platforms such as SailPoint, Saviynt, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID/Azure AD, CyberArk, or One Identity.
• Experience with IAM repositories or data hubs.
• Knowledge of Zero Trust and modern authentication, including MFA, SSO, FIDO2, and passkeys.
• Experience with data governance and data quality initiatives.
• Experience developing IAM/security reports and dashboards.
• Exposure to audit, risk, and regulatory requirements.
• Experience supporting IAM transformation or project delivery initiatives.
