• Map the end-to-end identity ecosystem across SAP and non-SAP applications, identifying control gaps and cyber risk
• Build a vendor-neutral capability model and assess the existing cyber application footprint for reuse and consolidation
• Facilitate workshops across Cyber Security, Enterprise Architecture, SAP Platform, audit, risk, procurement and business stakeholders
• Support SIT and UAT, including test scenarios, acceptance criteria, defect triage and deployment readiness

• 7+ years in Senior or Technical Business Analyst roles, with substantial delivery in cyber security, IAM or complex enterprise transformation
• Proven track record developing executive-ready business cases
• Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end RFI, RFP or RFT processes, including weighted scoring, moderation and due diligence

• Excellent stakeholder engagement and workshop facilitation skills

Preferred Skills & Qualifications

• Exposure to SAP IDM, SAP IAG, SAP Cloud Identity Services, SAP GRC Access Control, Microsoft Entra ID, SailPoint, Saviynt or CyberArk
