IAM SailPoint Program Manager

Responsibilities (High-Level): 

• Lead end-to-end planning, execution, and delivery of IAM transformation initiatives across SailPoint and Mainframe ecosystems.
• Drive program governance, stakeholder communication, risk management, and milestone tracking across multiple parallel workstreams.
• Manage dependencies across upstream HR systems (Workday), SailPoint IdentityIQ, Active Directory, downstream applications, and mainframe environments.
• Oversee design and implementation of direct integration between Workday and SailPoint, eliminating reliance on intermediate data sources.
• Ensure implementation of identity aggregation, correlation, transformation logic, and immutable identity generation within SailPoint.
• Drive attribute write-back capabilities (e.g., logon ID, email) and consistent identity propagation across enterprise systems.
• Lead assessment, standardisation, and automation of Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) lifecycle processes for employees, contractors, and non-human accounts.
• Oversee onboarding of applications into SailPoint using standard connectors and frameworks, enabling automated provisioning and deprovisioning.
• Drive adoption of out-of-the-box capabilities for contractor onboarding, self-service access requests, and identity management workflows.
• Ensure enhancement of access management workflows, audit logging, and compliance controls aligned with organisational policies.
• Oversee discovery and analysis of RACF/mainframe security profiles and drive translation into RBAC models aligned with enterprise standards.
• Manage design and implementation of RBAC roles across Active Directory, Cognos, Oracle EBS, and other enterprise systems aligned to mainframe logic.
• Drive replication and validation of mainframe security constructs into SailPoint or target RBAC models.
• Ensure smooth transition of provisioning ownership from mainframe systems to centralised platforms by disabling legacy mechanisms.
• Lead planning and execution of controlled decoupling and production cutover, including validation checkpoints and stakeholder sign-offs.
• Define and drive comprehensive testing strategy including SIT, UAT, and regression testing across all transformation components.
• Facilitate design workshops, backlog prioritisation, sprint planning, and delivery tracking in agile environments.
• Collaborate closely with architects, engineering teams, and business stakeholders to ensure solution alignment and delivery quality.
