Automation: Drive automation in repetitive IAM processes, such as account creation, role assignment, and periodic access reviews.

Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement: Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Work with IT, cybersecurity, HR, application owners, and business leaders to align IAM strategies with organizational goals.

Training and Awareness: Provide technical guidance and training for IAM operations teams and create awareness programs for end-users.
