About the Role

Support the development of the Identity Data Contract, identifying identity types, authoritative sources (e.g., SAP HR), required attributes, and data flows.
Translate business requirements into clear, actionable technical specifications for solution architects, engineers, testers, and cyber security teams.
Identify control gaps, manual activities, and duplicated processes to champion opportunities for automation and standardization.
Support test planning, User Acceptance Testing (UAT), business readiness, communications, training, and operational handover.
