Role Overview

The Business Intelligence Lead is responsible for advancing IAM through the redesign of structured processes, business intelligence, and AI-enabled automation.

This role evaluates L1 and L2 IAM workflows, identifies inefficiencies and service gaps, and transforms operational challenges into measurable improvement initiatives. By modernizing workflows and introducing intelligent automation, this position enables IAM teams to operate with greater precision, scalability, and technical depth.

A key focus of the role is improving overall business impact, ease of service, and ease of engagement with IAM services. This includes enhancing the customer experience for internal stakeholders while strengthening the efficiency and reliability of IAM operations.

The role converts operational pain points into structured initiatives that deliver measurable business outcomes. This includes partnering with key business stakeholders to gather feedback, understand service friction points, and identify opportunities to improve the overall experience of engaging with IAM services.

The objective is to build an operational model in which repetitive work is streamlined, decision-making is supported by data, and operational capacity is reinvested in higher-value IAM functions.

Core Responsibilities

Operational Process Review & Redesign

• Develop structured problem statements defining:
  • Current-state friction
  • Operational or risk impact
  • Root cause drivers
  • Optimized future-state design
• Translate findings into phased improvement roadmaps with defined milestones and measurable outcomes.

Business Intelligence & Data Analysis

• Analyze IAM operational metrics (volume trends, SLA adherence, backlog drivers, repeat incidents, error patterns).
• Use quantitative insights to prioritize transformation initiatives.
• Establish baseline KPIs and define performance targets tied to efficiency, quality, and operational maturity.

AI & Automation Enablement

• Identify opportunities for:
  • Rule-based automation
  • Workflow orchestration
  • AI-assisted triage and decision support
  • Intelligent request intake and knowledge automation
• Design automation solutions leveraging Azure services (Logic Apps, Power Automate, Functions, AI services), APIs, scripting, and ITSM integrations.
• Partner with IAM engineering and platform teams to move from concept to implementation.
• Ensure automation enhances security posture, auditability, and compliance alignment.

Continuous Improvement & Capability Advancement

• Identify structural gaps in IAM services, documentation, and operational ownership.
• Reduce manual process dependency to improve consistency and throughput.
• Enable operational capacity to shift toward more complex IAM analysis, control validation, and higher-order problem solving.
• Establish repeatable frameworks for evaluating and improving new and evolving IAM processes.

Basic Requirements:

• Master's degree or equivalent relevant work experience
• 8+ years of experience in IAM, Cyber Security, IT Operations, or operational transformation roles.
• Strong understanding of Identity & Access Management lifecycle and operational workflows.
• Demonstrated ability to convert operational inefficiencies into structured, executable improvement plans.
• Experience designing or implementing automation using Azure and enterprise platforms.
• Strong analytical capability with the ability to translate data into prioritized action.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Clear and structured communicator capable of articulating operational strategies and measurable outcomes.
