This role will execute Joiner, Mover, and Leaver (JML) activities across Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Ping Identity, and other enterprise platforms while ensuring timely and compliant access management. The ideal candidate will bring strong experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ, SAP GRC, ServiceNow, identity federation, and role-based access controls. The position requires a strong focus on operational accuracy, SLA adherence, access governance, and audit-ready documentation.
In this role, you will:

· Provision and administer identities across Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Ping Identity, PingFederate, PingOne, and integrated enterprise applications.
· Assign role-based entitlements and ensure access adheres to least-privilege, RBAC, and Segregation of Duties (SoD) requirements.
· Process role changes based on authoritative HR data from SAP SuccessFactors and identify or escalate SoD conflicts, entitlement gaps, and incomplete role definitions.
· Perform role engineering and entitlement analysis using SailPoint IdentityIQ and SAP GRC to identify inactive, orphaned, anomalous, or deprecated access.
· Support role catalog maintenance, role hygiene, entitlement remediation, and implementation of approved role changes.
· Coordinate access certification campaigns, including population generation, task distribution, completion tracking, exception management, and certification reporting.
· Execute access removal and remediation actions resulting from certification campaigns and validate completion evidence.
· Record JML, role management, certification, and remediation activities in ServiceNow to maintain traceability and audit readiness.
· Monitor IAM operational SLAs, generate access governance metrics, maintain documentation, and support audit and compliance requirements.
What you need to have to be considered
· 5–8 years of experience in IAM Operations, Identity Governance, Access Provisioning, or Identity Lifecycle Management.
· Strong hands-on experience with JML processes, account provisioning/deprovisioning, entitlement administration, RBAC, least privilege, and SoD controls.
· Experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ for identity governance, certifications, entitlement analysis, and access management.
· Working knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Ping Identity, PingFederate, and/or PingOne for identity administration, federation, and access management.
· Experience with SAP SuccessFactors as an identity source and SAP GRC for role and SoD governance is highly desirable.
· Strong understanding of access certification campaigns, access reviews, entitlement remediation, and audit evidence requirements.
· Experience with ServiceNow for access requests, incidents, workflow tracking, and maintaining auditable IAM records.
· Knowledge of identity standards and protocols such as SAML, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SCIM is preferred.
