Mission: Define the Battleground. Own the Win.

Saviynt isn’t just playing the Identity game; we’re rewriting the rules for the AI era. With a recent $700M investment led by KKR, we are positioned to dominate the Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) landscape.

We don’t need a librarian to archive competitor news. We need a Strategic Operator. Reporting directly to the SVP of Strategy, you will be the primary architect of our enterprise-wide competitive offensive. You will translate raw intelligence into structured market execution—equipping our global sales force to dismantle adversaries and secure our position as the undisputed leader in identity security.

This role requires phenomenal identity and access management experience, communication skills, the ability to create high-impact content, and strong cross-functional influence.

You won't just sit in the background; you are the bridge between Product, Sales, and the C-Suite.

You will be the architect of Saviynt’s competitive edge, interfacing with a cross-functional elite team of Sales, Product, and Marketing leaders.

Requirements

• 10-17 years of experience in competitive intelligence, integration, or consulting within the Identity and Access Management (IAM) space.
• Mandatory deep-rooted experience in Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).
• Phenomenal presentation skills with a track record of keynote-level public speaking.
• Demonstrated ability to frame complex problems, build operational plans, and drive execution to success.
• Strong leadership skills to build consensus among senior executives and drive virtual, cross-functional teams.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Business, CS, or Engineering is required

Nice To Haves

• Experience in PAM, Access Management, or Non-Human Identity (NHI) is a significant differentiator.
• Master of Business Administration (MBA) is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Lead a cross-functional initiative to deliver high-quality competitive analysis and enablement deliverables for Sales, SEs, and Partners.
• Author and publish high-impact thought leadership, competitive analysis, and industry position papers that elevate our brand and reshape customer perception.
• Deliver phenomenal presentations and keynote speeches at global internal and external events, representing our vision to the world.
• Structure sophisticated problems and analyze opportunities to drive meaningful recommendations to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).
