About the Job:

This role provides advanced IAM operations support for SailPoint IdentityIQ and Identity Security Cloud (ISC) while serving as a hands‑on contributor to AI enablement across access operations. The position focuses on Tier 3 access operations and the practical application of AI and LLMs to improve operational efficiency, analysis, and execution, under the direction of IAM leadership.

The individual will spend a significant portion of their early tenure building, piloting, and operationalizing AI‑assisted tooling and workflows to support access operations. The objective is to reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and enable IAM operators and partner teams to work more effectively, while maintaining strong governance, audit alignment, and operational rigor.
 

This role requires hands‑on experience applying large language models (LLMs) to operational workflows, including:

• Building retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) assistants over IAM runbooks and SOPs

• Creating LLM‑assisted triage for SailPoint IIQ / ISC operational failures (e.g., aggregation, provisioning, and workflow errors)

• Generating operator‑ready summaries and insights from SailPoint task results, logs, and audit outputs

Preferred experience includes familiarity with SailPoint’s native AI capabilities, such as AI‑Driven Identity Security, Access Recommendations / peer group analysis, and exposure to Harbor Pilot within Identity Security Cloud.

• Demonstrated ability to apply AI or machine‑learning techniques to operational problems (analysis, triage, automation, or decision support).

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, particularly in complex production environments.

• Experience working in audit‑sensitive IAM environments (SOX, access reviews, entitlement governance).

• Clear communication skills and the ability to execute independently with minimal oversight.

SailPoint Vendor AI Experience

• Experience with SailPoint AI‑Driven Identity Security, including SaaS‑delivered analytics for IdentityIQ and Identity Security Cloud.

• Hands‑on experience configuring Access Recommendations (thumbs‑up / thumbs‑down decision recommendations) for:

  • Access certifications

  • Access request approvals
