It's a hands-on lead position covering everything from role design and provisioning through to SoD risk analysis and workflow configuration, with genuine scope to shape access governance standards across the organisation.

Role & Responsibilities

 * Implement and configure SAP IAM (ARA, ARM, EAM, RDP)
 * Run SoD risk analysis; manage rulesets and mitigation controls
 * Design business/technical roles, role hierarchies and authorisations
 * Manage user provisioning, de-provisioning and access request workflows
 * Integrate with SAP IAS, IPS, GRC and non-SAP tools (e.g. SailPoint)
 * Configure multi-level and risk-based approval workflows
 * Support unit/integration/UAT testing and production deployments
 * Maintain access governance documentation and standards
