Position Overview:

We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented IAM Business Analyst specializing in Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) to manage and drive the application onboarding pipeline.

• Change Request Management: Identify application readiness gaps and coordinate the required actions to prepare applications for IGA onboarding. Initiate and manage internal change requests for APIs, database queries/stored procedures, delimited reports, and other required integration components to ensure project timelines are not impacted.
• Technical Ingestion Validation: Perform high-level testing and validation of application data delivery methods, including reviewing CSV/TXT feed files, database schemas, SQL queries, and REST/SOAP API payloads to validate data quality and integration readiness.
• Requirements Gathering & Documentation: Translate business access requirements into technical IAM artifacts, including Application Onboarding Profiles, entitlement mapping schemas, correlation rules, and birthright access definitions.
• Pipeline Tracking & Reporting: Manage the application onboarding pipeline and backlog, identify readiness bottlenecks, track dependencies, and provide regular status updates to IAM leadership to support project planning and realignment.

• Technical Data Literacy: Ability to read and write basic SQL queries for database analysis and data validation.
• Practical understanding of delimited file formats, including headers, delimiters, quotation marks, and encoding.
• Hands-on familiarity with API testing tools such as Postman and the ability to inspect JSON/XML request and response payloads.
• Strong understanding of SailPoint IIQ application onboarding and integration methodologies.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence business and technical teams without direct authority.
• Strong analytical and documentation skills, with experience creating functional specifications, role/entitlement mapping matrices, process workflows, and onboarding documentation.
