Provide input to the architect on governance design and tool configuration decisions
Configure identity lifecycle workflows covering joiner, mover, and leaver events
Build and configure entitlement management structures including access packages, catalogs, and approval policies
Configure access reviews and certification campaigns, including scope, reviewer assignment, and remediation handling
Configure Conditional Accesspolicies aligned to lifecycle states and access risk

Produce as-built documentation and support administrator training and operational handoff

5+ years implementing IGA solutions in enterprise environments, including workflow build, testing, and production rollout

Experience configuring Conditional Access policies in an enterprise environment, including how those policies interact with lifecycle events

Working knowledge of on-premises Active Directory as a provisioning target in a hybrid environment, including group and account structures and directory synchronization behavior

Working familiarity with Azure environments
Ability to author technical documentation and conduct knowledge transfer sessions
Comfortable on client calls, able to explain configuration decisions and status clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications
Prior work in manufacturing environments
