Fully Remote - bi-monthly travel to NYC
8 Months Contract
Pay: $70.00 - $75.00 p/hr

Role Overview

A large financial services / insurance organization is seeking a contract Access Recertification Campaign Lead to own and execute their annual access recertification program end-to-end using SailPoint. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role — not a leadership or architecture position. The individual will work within a risk, compliance, and GRC function, coordinating closely with an internal SailPoint development team. They will be the single point of accountability for driving the recertification campaign from preparation through audit completion.

Scope: approximately 52 systems and 40,000 entitlements.

Key Responsibilities

Campaign Preparation & Configuration

• Configure access recertification campaigns in SailPoint (scope, approvers, workflows)
• Coordinate with the IAM/SailPoint development team to load and validate entitlement data
• Perform UAT validation to confirm campaign readiness prior to launch
• Confirm completeness of scope, approver lists, and communications
• Establish tracking, reporting, and documentation structures before launch

Campaign Execution & Management

• Launch and oversee campaigns in SailPoint; act as central coordination hub
• Provide regular status reporting (daily, weekly, monthly) on completion rates, aging, and risks
• Proactively chase down approvers and stakeholders — does not wait on email responses
• Track and coordinate access removal and remediation tickets from request through closure
• Triage and manage issues, workflow bottlenecks, and escalations

Documentation & Audit Support

• Maintain complete, well-organized documentation with full traceability
• Ensure approver responses are attributable to the correct user with proper chain of custody
• Validate that removal/de-provisioning tickets are raised, tracked, and closed
• Support audit requests and follow-up activities through the audit of the recertification cycle

Campaign Completion & Validation

• Perform post-campaign validation across completion rates, actions taken, and exceptions
• Execute checklists against compiled documentation
• Prepare materials for audit review; participate in audit discussions

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in IAM, IT audit, or IT compliance
• Multiple end-to-end access recertification cycles under belt — has run the full process, not just supported it
• Strong hands-on SailPoint experience:

• Building and managing certification/recertification campaigns
• Understanding of custom vs. standard campaigns and integrated vs. non-integrated systems
• Proficiency with SailPoint reporting and campaign configuration

• Compliance and audit mindset — understands what evidence auditors require and how to retain it
• Comfortable with basic data manipulation and transformation to prepare entitlement data sets
• Strong organizational skills: can design and maintain structured file and evidence repositories
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management capabilities

Key Attributes

• Execution-first mindset: recertification is not one of ten priorities, it is the only priority
• High energy and proactive: does not wait to be chased, chases others
• Highly organized: builds structure, repositories, and tracking systems from day one
• Strong communicator with executive presence — comfortable presenting to leadership
• Collaborative: works within a team but owns the outcome
• Prior experience working with external auditors in a recertification context
• Background in GRC or broader IAM (beyond recertification)
• Familiarity with SOX access control requirements
