• Design integrations with systems like Active Directory, Entra ID (Azure AD), POS, ERP, and e-commerce platforms.
• Lead directory modernization and ensure consistent identity modeling across hybrid environments (on-prem + cloud).

3. Integration & Automation Skills

• Build and maintain integrations with enterprise systems via APIs, connectors, and workflows.
• Automate user lifecycle management across systems.
• Connect SailPoint to ITSM (ServiceNow), SIEM, and DevOps pipelines to strengthen identity-driven security automation.

4. Governance & Compliance

• Support audits (PCI-DSS, GDPR, internal IT policies).
• Provide evidence, documentation, and reporting for compliance.
• Maintain access certification campaigns and enforce governance controls.

5. Collaboration & Cross-Functional Influence

• Partner with Security, Infrastructure, HR, Application, and Business teams.
• Translate business access needs into technical configurations.
• Serve as a technical advisor to leadership and peers on identity-related strategy and risks.
