Monitor and resolve access\-related incidents and failed IAM/IGA jobs, partnering with Security, Helpdesk, IT, and Compliance teams to reduce risk and improve reliability.

Help conduct periodic access reviews and audit activities, contributing to a secure, governed data environment that supports trustworthy platform\-level reporting and analytics in GWCI and related systems.

Contribute to the design, development, and expansion of enterprise roles as part of our RBAC initiative, aligning role models with business needs and separation‑of‑duties controls.

Support and administer identity governance platforms and integrations (for example with Active Directory, LDAP, SSO, MFA, and REST APIs), working closely with infrastructure and application owners.

Assist with implementing and maintaining compliant access practices aligned to relevant frameworks such as SOX, HIPAA, or ISO 27001, in partnership with our Security PMO and other stakeholders.

Document IAM/IGA procedures, workflows, and configurations clearly, and collaborate with cross\-functional teams to improve usability, streamline report discovery, and make secure access to governed data products and self\-service analytics simpler for stakeholders.
