​This is a Full-Time role within the Information Security and Risk department at Cardinal Health, a Fortune 15 global healthcare services leader. This position is highly specialized, focusing on Identity and Access Management (IAM) specifically within the context of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). You will be responsible for the technical heavy lifting of merging disparate identity systems from acquired companies into the Cardinal Health ecosystem using SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ).

• ​Salary Range: $94,900 – $135,600
• ​Core Platform: SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ)
• ​Primary Objective: Designing and executing IAM integration strategies for M&A activities.
• ​Tech Stack: Java, BeanShell, XML, Active Directory, Azure AD/Entra ID, Workday, and SCIM.

​Key Responsibilities: Identity Governance & M&A Execution

​This role combines deep technical development with strategic planning to ensure that new employees and systems are integrated securely without disrupting business operations.

​M&A Integration and Identity Consolidation

​You will assess the IAM landscapes of newly acquired entities to identify technical challenges. The core of the role involves merging user directories (Active Directory, LDAP) and access management systems into the existing infrastructure. You will be tasked with consolidating these disparate identities to provide a “single source of truth” for the organization.

​SailPoint IIQ Development and Customization

​This is a hands-on development role. You will configure and customize SailPoint IIQ components, including Lifecycle Manager (LCM) and Compliance Manager (CM). This involves writing BeanShell scripts, Java code, and XML configurations to develop custom workflows, rules, and connectors for provisioning and de-provisioning access across enterprise applications and cloud platforms (GCP, MS Entra ID).

​User Lifecycle and Compliance

​During M&A transitions, you will automate onboarding and offboarding processes for employees and contractors. A critical aspect of this is ensuring all IAM processes remain compliant with strict regulatory standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and SOX. You will implement periodic access reviews and maintain auditable records to protect against unauthorized access to sensitive healthcare data.

​Required Qualifications and Skills

​Cardinal Health is looking for an expert in Identity Governance who can navigate complex, large-scale enterprise deployments.

• ​SailPoint Mastery: Extensive hands-on experience with SailPoint IIQ is a mandatory requirement, specifically with LCM and CM modules.
• ​Integration Expertise: Proven experience integrating SailPoint with Workday, Active Directory, SAP, and Web Services (SCIM/JDBC).
• ​Development Skills: Strong ability to write Java and BeanShell for custom workflows and the ability to model complex business functions into technical policy.
• ​Systems Knowledge: Solid understanding of Active Directory, LDAP, and cloud identity providers like MS Entra ID.
• ​Compliance Mindset: Experience working within highly regulated environments, particularly those governed by HIPAA and SOX.

​Summary of Role Impact

​Cardinal Health operates at a massive scale with 50,000 employees. When the company acquires new businesses, the IAM Engineer is the gatekeeper who ensures that thousands of new users gain the right access at the right time. Your work prevents security gaps during the vulnerable M&A phase and ensures that the company remains compliant with federal healthcare laws. This is a high-visibility role that directly impacts the security and operational agility of a top-tier global corporation.
