  • Closed‑loop access request and fulfillment workflows.
• Troubleshoot complex cross‑system issues involving Saviynt, SAP, SAP GRC, HR sources, and directories.

Integration & Data Engineering

• Ensure high‑quality identity data through robust correlation rules, attribute mappings, and validation logic.
• Design monitoring, logging, and alerting for provisioning and GRC workflows.
• Lead integrations with:
  • Authoritative sources (HRIS).
  • Directories (AD / Entra ID / LDAP).
  • ITSM platforms (e.g., ServiceNow).

Delivery Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

• Own technical delivery end to end, including requirements, design, build, testing, deployment, and steady‑state operations.
• Act as the primary technical advisor for Saviynt IAM‑ and GRC‑related initiatives.
• Mentor IAM engineers and administrators, and establish patterns and reusable components.
• Communicate effectively with Security Architecture, SAP Security/Basis, GRC, Compliance, and Internal Audit teams.
