Role :Enterprise SaaS & Vendor Integration Consultant
Location :Charlotte, NC(Hybrid)
Bill Rate : $70/hr to $72/hr

✅ Role Summary
The consultant serves as the hands-on subject matter expert responsible for designing, implementing, and operationalizing integrations for third-party SaaS and vendor applications within a regulated enterprise environment.
This role partners closely with an internal manager (application owner) and drives:

Technical integration execution
IAM onboarding design and delivery
Practical resolution of vendor capability gaps

The consultant is expected to operate autonomously, bringing domain expertise in enterprise SaaS integration patterns.

🎯 Key Responsibilities
1) Lead SaaS integration design & execution

Design and implement integration solutions for vendor platforms, including:
- SSO (SAML/OIDC)
- Provisioning (SCIM, API-based, or hybrid approaches)
Translate enterprise constraints intoreal-world integration architectures, including when:
- Vendors lack SCIM
- Custom APIs must be leveraged

👉 This reflects common onboarding scenarios where vendors provide APIs but not standardized provisioning, requiring bespoke integration approaches[https://ou...essageItem | Outlook]

2) Own IAM onboarding implementation (hands-on)

Execute onboarding aligned to enterprise IAM standards:
- Externalize access to IAM platforms (AD / Entra / IGA)
- Eliminate or minimize local accounts
Configure:
- Authentication integration
- Access models (RBAC via AD groups or equivalent)
- Provisioning / deprovisioning flows

👉 Enterprise target state explicitly requires externalizing access and removing local accounts wherever possible[IAM Integr...Onboarding | SharePoint]

3) Solve vendor capability gaps (critical part of the role)

Design solutions where vendor functionality is incomplete, including:
- SCIM gap → API-based provisioning or SCIM gateway pattern
- Limited RBAC models → mapping enterprise roles to vendor constructs
Recommend and implement viable patterns such as:
- Custom connectors
- Scheduled API sync feeds
- Hybrid SAML + API provisioning models

4) Drive onboarding through enterprise processes

Navigate and execute onboarding workflows:
- IAM onboarding requirements
- ART / ACT processes (for non-modernized integrations)
- Required architectural and security approvals
Produce required artifacts:
- Integration architecture documentation
- Access models and control descriptions
- Evidence for onboarding approvals

👉 Non-modernized (manual-heavy) integrations require explicit approvals and structured onboarding process execution[IAM Integr...Onboarding | SharePoint]

5) Implement security and access controls

Ensure vendor solutions align to:
- IAM policies (provisioning, recertification, SoD)
- MFA and authentication standards
- Privileged access controls
Validate:
- Proper entitlement management
- Auditability of access changes

👉 IAM domain explicitly focuses on ensuring "right access to the right resources at the right time” with compliance and audit alignment[Identity a...Management | SharePoint]

6) Support operational readiness & troubleshooting

Troubleshoot issues across:
- SSO / authentication flows
- Provisioning failures (SCIM/API)
- Role mapping discrepancies
Stabilize poorly integrated vendor solutions:
- Remove manual processes where possible
- Establish consistent access patterns

👉 Practical troubleshooting of identity vs network vs vendor issues is a core expectation in this domain[https://ou...essageItem | Outlook]

7) Partner with internal stakeholders & vendors

Work across:
- IAM engineering
- InfoSec / risk
- Networking
- Application owners and business users
Interface directly with vendors to:
- Clarify capabilities
- Push for enhancements
- Align integration design

🧠 Required Expertise
Technical

Strong experience with:
- SAML / OIDC authentication
- SCIM provisioning (or alternatives)
- REST APIs for user / role management
Experience integrating SaaS platforms into enterprise IAM environments

Domain (critical differentiator)

Deep understanding of:
- IAM lifecycle (joiner / mover / leaver)
- Enterprise access models (RBAC, SoD)
- Audit and compliance expectations in regulated environments

Practical

Experience working around:
- Non-ideal vendor capabilities
- Hybrid identity models
- Manual-to-automated migration patterns

⚡ Engagement model (important for your setup)

Consultant operates as:
- Execution lead and SME
- Manager retains:
  - Ownership
  - stakeholder alignment
  - prioritization
Consultant expected to:
- Drive work forward independently
- Propose solutions (not just implement)
- Reduce decision burden on manager
