Shape identity governance and access management across a complex environment spanning legacy infrastructure, cloud services and applications
Designing and embedding controls across the identity lifecycle (joiner, mover, leaver), including approvals, reviews, and access removal
Establishing governance for privileged and non-privileged access
Partnering with security, risk,



audit, and technology teams to address identity-related risk
Supporting regulatory and assurance activities by providing clear evidence and metrics
Defining and tracking identity KPIs such as access reviews, orphan accounts, and control effectiveness
Contributing to the broader IAM strategy, roadmap, and operating model
What you'll bring
Strong experience in Identity Governance and IAM controls within complex environments
Hands-on knowledge of IAM, IGA, and PAM technologies across cloud and enterprise platforms
Proven experience working with risk, audit, and compliance stakeholders
The ability to translate technical identity concepts into explicit, practical outcomes
