• Define and execute security testing for system updates, enhancements, and releases
• Support audit activities, including documentation, access reviews, and control validation
• Identify and resolve SoD conflicts and implement appropriate controls
• Assist with monitoring, logging, and security-related initiatives (e.g., alerting, access tracking)
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to a small team of security analysts (no direct reports)

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on PeopleSoft security administration experience
• Experience with roles, permission lists, row-level security, and user provisioning
• Strong understanding of RBAC, least privilege, and segregation of duties (SoD)
• Experience supporting security audits, compliance, or access reviews
• Ability to work cross-functionally with technical and functional teams
• Experience migrating security changes across environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in PeopleSoft HCM, Financials, or Campus Solutions (experience in one or more is acceptable)
• Familiarity with security monitoring tools (e.g., Appsian) or SIEM integrations
• Experience with SSO, LDAP/Active Directory, or identity management concepts
• Background in public sector, higher education, or regulated environments
• Experience improving or redesigning legacy security models

What Success Looks Like

• Improved adoption of role-based access control (RBAC)
• Reduction in one-off access requests and security exceptions
• Strengthened SoD controls and audit readiness
• More scalable, standardized, and maintainable security architecture
