• Develop and maintain technical documentation, solution designs, operational procedures, and automation standards.
• Mentor team members and share technical knowledge and best practices.
• Identify opportunities to improve identity architecture, security, automation, and operational processes.
• Contribute to the ongoing development of enterprise Identity Governance and Privileged Access Management capabilities.
