IT Security Analyst - RBAC

Primary Function of Position
This position is responsible for managing the technical side of our Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) program in support of the organization's business applications. As a Security Analyst, you will partner directly with business application owners to design, build, and maintain role models that support each application's access needs, and will act as an SME for RBAC initiatives, working across business, security, engineering, and operational teams to onboard and govern access for business applications.
Essential Job Duties
Partner directly with business application owners and IT teams to design and implement role-based access control (RBAC) models tailored to each application's access needs.
Lead application enrollment into Sailpoint IdentityIQ, defining application-specific roles, entitlements, and provisioning/de-provisioning workflows via REST APIs.
Perform role mining and role engineering at the application level: analyze entitlements within business applications and group them into business-aligned roles.
Develop custom workflows, rules, and forms to support application-specific role assignment, approval, and certification processes.
Act as the primary IAM point of contact for business application teams, translating business access requirements into technical role designs.
Administer RBAC governance for onboarded business applications, ensuring role catalogs stay current as applications and business needs evolve.
Identify gaps in application access models — excess access, orphaned entitlements, missing segregation-of-duties (SoD) controls — and drive remediation.
Support access certification/attestation campaigns for business applications, ensuring role assignments remain accurate and audit ready.
Implement least-privilege and SoD principles within application-specific role designs, aligning to security best practices.
Design, integrate, and support IAM/IAG tools and processes as they relate to onboarding and maintain business application access.
Support Sailpoint IdentityIQ version upgrades and patching as they affect application role/RBAC configurations.
Work across Sailpoint IdentityIQ modules — LCM, Reporting/Analytics, and Certifications — with emphasis on application-level, role-based reporting.
Support SSO/MFA-integrated access for business applications (e.g., Okta) as it intersects with role assignments.
Analyze application access requests to assess risk, applying RBAC and least-privilege principles to define acceptable solutions.
Develop and monitor KPIs and metrics on role coverage, SoD violations, and certification completion across supported business applications.
