The role works closely with application owners, business stakeholders, IAM engineering, cybersecurity, risk management, and audit teams to ensure controls are executed consistently, supported by complete and accurate data, and maintained in an audit-ready state. The ideal candidate combines strong operational discipline, analytical skills, and an understanding of identity and access management concepts, with an ability to manage recurring control activities involving multiple applications and stakeholders.
