[Contract] Saviynt Implementation Engineer

About the role

Senior Saviynt Engineer (Contract-to-Hire)

Employment Type: Contract-to-Hire ([6] month contract with intent to convert to full-time)

Location: Remote

Start Date: ASAP

About the Role

Our client is seeking a senior, hands-on Saviynt engineer to step into an active Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud (EIC) implementation. This person will assess the current state, remediate existing work, and drive the program to completion.

This is a builder role. The client needs someone who will configure, troubleshoot, and deliver directly, not just provide architectural guidance. Immediate priorities are stabilizing access certifications and accelerating the onboarding of the client’s SaaS application portfolio.

For the right candidate, this role converts to a full-time position as a core owner of the client’s identity governance program.

What You’ll Do

First 90 days

Review the existing Saviynt implementation, identify gaps and issues, and build a remediation plan

Stabilize and run access certification campaigns, including quarterly SOX user access reviews

Onboard and integrate SaaS applications into Saviynt, working toward a portfolio of 30 to 40 apps

Ongoing

Configure and maintain Saviynt connectors for SaaS applications, including Jira

Integrate Saviynt with Azure / Entra ID and manage RBAC models

Build and refine identity governance workflows, entitlements, roles, and approval processes

Manage identity lifecycles for both employees and non-employees/contractors

Partner with IT, Security, Compliance, and application owners to gather requirements and drive adoption

Document configurations, processes, and runbooks to keep the program sustainable

Support internal and external audits with certification evidence and reporting

What You Bring

Required

5+ years in Identity and Access Management, with at least 3 years of hands-on Saviynt EIC implementation and configuration

Experience taking over and remediating an existing Saviynt implementation, not just greenfield deployments

Strong background designing and running access certifications, including SOX quarterly reviews

Proven track record onboarding a large number of SaaS applications into Saviynt

Hands-on experience with Saviynt SaaS connectors, including Jira

Strong Azure / Entra ID integration and RBAC experience

Experience configuring workflows, entitlements, roles, and approvals in Saviynt

Experience managing employee and non-employee/contractor identity lifecycles

Comfortable owning problems end to end and working independently in a fast-moving environment

Nice to Have

Saviynt certifications (e.g., Saviynt Certified IGA Professional)

Experience with HRIS integrations (e.g., Workday) as an authoritative identity source

Familiarity with REST APIs, JSON, and scripting for custom connector work

Experience in environments with SOX compliance requirements
