Identity and Access Control Analyst

Identity and Access Control Analyst at AVEVA

AVEVA is creating software trusted by over 90% of leading industrial companies.

The Role of Identity and Access Control Analyst

The Identity and Access Control Analyst is responsible for supporting the execution of user access processes across AVEVA’s business-critical systems and is accountable for processing, provisioning, de-provisioning, and periodic access reviews in line with internal control expectations. This includes maintaining access documentation, supporting role-based access controls, and ensuring evidence is available to meet PCAOB/SOX audit requirements.

The role will work closely with platform teams, control stakeholders, and end users to ensure access-related tasks are carried out in a secure, consistent, and compliant manner. The successful candidate must maintain audit readiness through automated generation of audit reports and data, rather than producing evidence reactively during audits. Analysts are expected to leverage automation and AI tools to optimise controls, reporting, and day-to-day tasks.

• Support execution of regular access certification, role review, and privileged access activities
• Assist in maintaining accurate RBAC configurations and segregation of duties (SoD) records
• Track access exceptions and ensure follow-up and resolution with relevant stakeholders
• Maintain documentation to support internal control testing and audit walkthroughs
• Drive automation of access control workflows, evidence collection, and reporting to improve efficiency and compliance
• Collaborate with system owners and IT support teams to resolve access-related issues
• Contribute to improvements in access control workflows, evidence traceability, and documentation standards
• Support knowledge transfer and help onboard new team members
• Use AI-driven solutions to streamline operational tasks and reporting

Essential Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Information Security, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in access management, IT support, or audit coordination
• Understanding of access provisioning, RBAC, SoD, and identity-related IT general controls
• Experience with systems such as SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, or Workday
• Familiarity with PCAOB/SOX requirements and access review processes
• Proficiency with Microsoft 365 tools (Teams, SharePoint) and ServiceNow or similar platforms
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain documentation to audit standards
• Clear written and verbal communication skills
• Experience with AI technologies and ability to apply AI-driven solutions in operational workflows

Desired Skills

• Exposure to IAM tools or access governance solutions.
• Familiarity with GDPR or other data protection requirements.
• Understanding of ITIL or control frameworks related to identity governance.
• Experience supporting audits, access reviews, or internal control testing.
• Interest in compliance, cybersecurity, or GRC career paths.
