Responsibilities

High-Volume ServiceNow Access Operations Own and execute work in a high-volume ServiceNow queue, consistently handling hundreds of tickets per week for access creation, changes, troubleshooting, terminations/offboarding, and triage. Prioritize and route requests using impact, urgency, patient-care considerations, risk, and defined SLAs; escalate complex/high-risk issues appropriately.
Troubleshoot access end-to-end (request intent, user attributes, role mapping, provisioning outcomes, in-application authorization) and document decisions/outcomes clearly for auditability.
Epic Application Access & Security Leadership Serve as the senior escalation point for Epic access design/build and complex access issues; ensure access is scalable, supportable, and aligned to policy.
Develop and maintain standardized access patterns (RBAC roles/templates, privileged/elevated access controls) aligned to least privilege. Partner with Epic application teams and operational leaders to translate workflows into durable access models and reduce one-off exceptions.
Access Governance, Audit Readiness, and Risk Controls Maintain an Epic access catalog (roles/entitlements, risk tiers, prerequisites, approval paths) and keep it current as workflows evolve. Support access reviews/attestations for high-risk roles and privileged access; drive remediation of findings and control gaps.
Support investigations related to inappropriate access/privacy concerns and contribute to corrective action plans.
IGA / SailPoint Enablement (Application-Side SME) Partner with IAM/IGA stakeholders during SailPoint implementation to ensure Epic is “automation-ready” (clean entitlements, requestable roles, approvals, constraints, and edge-case handling).
Help align access with authoritative source systems (HR, operations, credentialing, etc.) by defining needed attributes and lifecycle scenarios (joiner/mover/leaver, LOA, contractors, students).
Support testing/UAT and rollout readiness by validating that automated provisioning yields correct in-application authorization and usable audit trails.
Mentorship & Operational Excellence Mentor and quality-review work performed by Level II analysts; establish standard work, runbooks, knowledge articles, and queue hygiene practices.
Track and improve key operational metrics (turnaround time, rework/defect rate, exception volume, access quality) and drive measurable process improvement.
