IAM Governance Analyst

Job title: IAM Governance Analyst

About the Role The IAM Governance Analyst is a critical execution role within the Identity and Access Management team, bridging audit, compliance, and IAM operations. You will focus on ensuring access controls are effective and auditable, with a strong emphasis on process discipline and evidence-based validation.

What You'll Do

• Plan, configure, launch, and manage User Access Review campaigns end-to-end using Saviynt or equivalent IGA platforms (SailPoint, Okta, etc.).
• Monitor campaign progress closely — tracking reviewer completion, chasing outstanding certifications, managing exceptions, and ensuring every campaign closes cleanly and on time.
• Maintain meticulous records of campaign activity, decisions, and outcomes that are audit-ready at any point during or after the review cycle.
• Validate access certification results for accuracy and completeness before closure — never assuming the output is correct without checking.
• Execute remediation actions resulting from access reviews, ensuring revocations and changes are completed, documented, and confirmed.
• Support audit and compliance requirements related to identity and access management, including evidence collection, control testing, and documentation of access control validations.
• Prepare clear, accurate, and complete responses to audit inquiries — understanding that incomplete or ambiguous evidence is not acceptable.
• Perform auditing of access controls to verify provisioning, deprovisioning, and access changes have been executed correctly and in line with policy.
• Evaluate current IAM methods and controls against established policies and standards, identifying gaps that could lead to unauthorized or excessive access.
• Review business processes to identify access control weaknesses and gather requirements for controls that are not yet in place.
• Document findings in a structured, evidence-based manner that is clear to both technical teams and audit stakeholders.
• Work with the IAM Governance Manager and cross-functional teams to drive remediation of identified gaps to closure.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in one or more of: GRC, internal audit, IT compliance, or identity and access management — ideally with meaningful exposure to the others.
• Hands-on experience executing User Access Review campaigns using an IGA platform such as Saviynt, SailPoint, or a comparable tool. Candidates familiar with one platform will be expected to learn Saviynt quickly.
• Demonstrated experience supporting or executing audit and compliance activities — including evidence gathering, control testing, and working directly with auditors or audit teams.
• Working knowledge of compliance frameworks such as NIST, ISO, SOX, SOC2, or Privacy, and an understanding of how these frameworks translate into access control requirements.
• Experience with data analysis and the ability to interpret access data, identify anomalies, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Expert proficiency in Microsoft Excel — pivot tables, data validation, and working with large datasets are a regular part of this role. Strong working knowledge of PowerPoint and Microsoft 365.

Nice to Have

• You think like an auditor even when no one is watching. You document your work, validate your outputs, and flag issues before they become problems — not after.
• You are exceptionally detail-oriented. You notice discrepancies others overlook, and you treat accuracy as non-negotiable, not a nice-to-have.
• You are comfortable working with ambiguity and incomplete information without letting it stall your work — you know when to proceed, when to ask, and when to escalate.
• You pick up new tools and processes quickly. If you've worked in SailPoint or another IGA platform, you'll be productive in Saviynt without a long ramp-up.
• You communicate proactively — you provide clear status updates, flag risks early, and never let something slip without surfacing it.
• You are organized, manage your time well, and can handle multiple concurrent priorities without dropping detail on any of them.

Compensation & Benefits

• Flexible benefits tailored to each country and start the day you do, including health and welfare insurance plans, retirement programs, parental leave, adoption assistance, and wellbeing resources to support you and your immediate family.
• Travel perks with a choice of deals each week from major travel providers on flights to hotels to cruises and car rentals.
• Access to over 20,000 courses on our learning platform, leadership courses, and new job openings available to develop the skills you want when the time is right for you.
