• Access Management: Manage the identity lifecycle for users, contractors, and service accounts, ensuring that access is granted based on least privilege and need-to-know principles. Oversee role mining, role engineering, and access review processes to maintain clean and up-to-date access models.
• Collaboration with Stakeholders: Work closely with HR, IT, and business units to align IAM processes with user management, organizational changes, and business needs. Act as the primary point of contact for IAM process issues, coordinating resolution efforts across relevant teams.
• Process Documentation & Training: Create and maintain IAM process documentation, including standard operating procedures (SOPs), user guides, and process flow diagrams. Conduct training sessions for relevant stakeholders to ensure proper understanding and adherence to IAM processes.
• IAM Metrics & Reporting: Develop KPIs and performance metrics for IAM processes, regularly reporting on status, compliance, and areas for improvement. Use metrics to identify bottlenecks, security gaps, and opportunities for enhancing IAM process effectiveness.
• Risk & Compliance Management: Ensure IAM processes support compliance with security policies and external regulations. Partner with audit teams to address any process gaps identified during internal and external audits.
