About The Position

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.
