You Are
An experienced IGA leader who is equally comfortable at the whiteboard and in front of client leadership. You bring deep hands-on expertise in leading IGA platforms and have served as both the solution architect and the project delivery lead on complex, end-to-end identity governance implementations.

You have the experience to assess a client’s identity governance maturity, anticipate business and compliance requirements, and design right-sized solutions based on industry-leading practices. You translate complex identity concepts into clear business outcomes for senior stakeholders, build trusted client relationships, and are passionate about developing and mentoring the consultants and engineers on your team.

- Provide technical oversight of rules development, workflow customizations, and plugin development, including design and code reviews to ensure quality and maintainability
- Own the test strategy and lead system integration testing, user acceptance testing, and production go-live and cutover activities
- Lead, mentor, and develop onshore and offshore consultants and developers, removing blockers and driving accountability across the team
- Manage vendor relationships and escalations, partnering with product support to resolve complex product issues
- Ensure operational readiness through handover documentation, knowledge transfer, training, and a smooth transition to operations teams
- Build trusted relationships with client stakeholders and serve as an advisor on identity governance, compliance, and access risk
