Senior Identity Governance Analyst

Adyen’s Enterprise Access Management team is looking for a Senior Identity Governance Analyst to help us establish the guardrails for our identity environment. We need a professional who can bridge the gap between business logic and technical implementation to help ensure our access models are secure and scalable.

What You’ll Do

• Coordinate periodic access certification campaigns and audits across key directory services and SaaS platforms.
• Collaborate with business owners to define role-based access controls (RBAC) and approval hierarchies during application onboarding.
• Analyze joiner-mover-leaver (JML) workflows to maintain data hygiene and ensure access remains aligned with current organizational structures.
• Provide oversight for privileged account management to verify documented approval and ongoing business necessity for administrative access.
• Develop governance standards for non-human identities and AI agents to ensure visibility and adherence to security policies.
• Translate governance policies into actionable technical requirements for integration with identity automation and internal platforms.
• Act as a primary point of contact for internal and external auditors to support compliance reporting and control validation.
• Develop and maintain governance metrics and reporting - including certification completion rates, orphaned account tracking, and separation-of-duties violation monitoring - to measure program effectiveness.

Who You Are

• Professional experience in identity governance, risk, or compliance within an enterprise environment.
• Hands-on experience with identity governance platforms such as SailPoint, Okta Identity Governance, Saviynt, or similar IGA solutions, including access certifications, role management, and lifecycle policy configuration.
• Experience supporting compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS v4, ISO 27001, ISO 27002 or SOC 2, including evidence collection and control validation for internal and external audits.
• Strong understanding of identity lifecycles, least-privilege principles, and RBAC frameworks.
• Proven track record of managing data-driven audit and remediation projects independently.
• Analytical mindset focused on identifying process improvements and implementing scalable governance solutions.
• Collaborative team player who thrives on solving complex identity challenges.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate governance requirements for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience in financial services, payments, or fintech is a plus.
