• Oversee the development of automated IAM governance across both on-premises and cloud environments and implement solutions across workforce IAM, PAM, and customer IAM ecosystems.
• Identify and implement AI-assisted use cases such as ticket summarization, access review support, audit evidence collection, and process documentation.
• Establish governance processes for AI agents, service principals, managed identities, and other non-human identities.
• Create dashboards, metrics, runbooks, and documentation to improve operational visibility and efficiency.
