This role requires deep SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC) expertise, strong operational knowledge and the ability to work effectively across security, infrastructure, application and business teams. This position reports to the Vice President, CISO. Overall Purpose of the Role: Hibbett is looking for a hands-on, senior-level identity engineer who can own, architect, and operationalize the company’s identity governance platform (SailPoint Identity Security Cloud) within a large, complex retail enterprise. This is not just an administrative or support role — it’s a technical leadership position within the cybersecurity organization, reporting directly to the CISO, focused on building and maturing Hibbett’s IAM and governance capabilities. Core Mission: To design, implement, and maintain secure, automated, and compliant identity and access governance systems that ensure: Every user (employee, contractor, vendor, service account) has the right access. Access changes are automated, traceable, and compliant. Integrations across retail systems (POS, ERP, e-commerce, cloud) are secure and seamless. The environment aligns with regulatory and audit standards (PCI, GDPR, etc.). What Hibbett Specifically Wants 1. Deep SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Expertise Act as the subject-matter expert for SailPoint ISC. Architect, configure, and optimize the SailPoint platform (connectors, workflows, policies). Implement RBAC (Role-Based Access Control), automated provisioning/deprovisioning, and SoD (Segregation of Duties) controls. Maintain platform health, troubleshoot issues, and perform upgrades. 2. Architectural Ownership Own the IAM / IGA roadmap, aligning it with broader enterprise security and technology strategy. Design integrations with systems like Active Directory, Entra ID (Azure AD), POS, ERP, and e-commerce platforms. Lead directory modernization and ensure consistent identity modeling across hybrid environments (on-prem + cloud). 3. Integration & Automation Skills Build and maintain integrations with enterprise systems via APIs, connectors, and workflows. Automate user lifecycle management across systems. Connect SailPoint to ITSM (ServiceNow), SIEM, and DevOps pipelines to strengthen identity-driven security automation. 4. Governance & Compliance Support audits (PCI-DSS, GDPR, internal IT policies). Provide evidence, documentation, and reporting for compliance. Maintain access certification campaigns and enforce governance controls. 5. Collaboration & Cross-Functional Influence Partner with Security, Infrastructure, HR, Application, and Business teams. Translate business access needs into technical configurations. Serve as a technical advisor to leadership and peers on identity-related strategy and risks. What “Success” Looks Like in This Role SailPoint ISC is fully integrated and automated across all major enterprise systems. Identity lifecycle management is streamlined and auditable. Hibbett’s IAM environment supports zero-trust security goals and regulatory compliance. The engineer becomes the go-to internal expert on identity governance — influencing architecture, tools, and policy.
