Senior IGA Engineer, Ballerup, Denmark

Your impact begins here 

Join our Identity & Access Management team and help keep a business-critical identity governance platform secure, stable and ready for the future. As our Senior IGA Engineer, you will combine deep SailPoint IdentityIQ expertise with a strong understanding of business needs and operational priorities. You will resolve complex incidents, shape sustainable technical solutions and help prevent recurring issues. Your work will enable colleagues across Novo Nordisk to access the systems and information they need securely and efficiently. 

What you'll bring 

You are an experienced identity governance professional who can connect technical detail with business impact. You take ownership across team boundaries, communicate clearly and approach complex problems with curiosity and pragmatism. 

To succeed in this role, you have: 

• At least five years of hands-on experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ, including responsibility for operating and supporting the platform. 

• Strong knowledge of SailPoint IdentityIQ architecture, integrations and capabilities in a large, complex enterprise environment. 

• In-depth knowledge of Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, including how these technologies interact with identity governance and administration services. 

• Experience analysing business requirements and translating them into user stories, acceptance criteria and clear functional specifications for technical teams. 

• A relevant degree in information security, computer science, engineering, data science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 

• Experience working with external vendors or outsourced service providers to resolve incidents and deliver sustainable improvements. 

Experience with SailPoint Identity Security Cloud or another cloud-based identity governance solution would be valuable. We would also welcome experience with cloud migration planning, regulated industries, controlled change processes, audit expectations or the governance of non-human identities, including AI agents and machine workloads. 

What you'll do 

• Act as the third-line escalation point for complex SailPoint IdentityIQ incidents that cannot be resolved by first- or second-line support. 

• Lead technical investigations with developers, identity governance architects and external service providers, identifying root causes and coordinating practical recovery options. 

• Assess proposed fixes and workarounds for operational and security risks, then drive improvements that strengthen platform stability and reduce recurring incidents. 

• Support major incident resolution by providing technical expertise, assessing business impact and communicating clear options to technical and business stakeholders. 

• Analyse business needs and clarify their implications for identity processes, data flows, integrations and ongoing operational support. 

• Work with the IGA Product Owner and development team to refine the backlog, clarify requirements, evaluate proposed solutions and validate that delivered changes meet business and operational needs. 

You will also help maintain standard operating procedures and strengthen the operational knowledge base. Through knowledge transfer, clear escalation guidance and improvements to support processes, you will enable first- and second-line support teams to resolve more issues consistently and effectively. 

Who you'll work with 

You will join the Identity & Access Management department within Infrastructure in Enterprise IT. The department is responsible for the full identity and access management landscape, covering strategy, development, daily operations and continuous improvement. Your closest partners will include the IGA Product Owner, IGA architects, developers and the support team. You will also collaborate with external service providers and colleagues across different Lines of Business. 

What you can expect here 

This is an onsite role in Ballerup where you can apply your technical expertise to a platform that supports secure access across a large and complex organisation. You will have the opportunity to influence operational practices, contribute to the continued development of our identity governance capabilities and build knowledge across the wider support organisation. You will work in an environment where collaboration, professional curiosity and clear communication matter. The role offers exposure to both immediate operational challenges and emerging identity governance needs, including cloud-based platforms and non-human identities. 

Salary: For this role, the Annual Base Salary ranges from 742,600.00 to 1,091,600.00 DKK, corresponding to the level of the position.
