Key Experience

• Deep understanding of:

• Permissions, roles & access models in IFS

• Aurena, projections, APIs & integrations (REST/OData)

• Segregation of Duties & RBAC frameworks

• Experience in enterprise-scale ERP programmes (global/multi-site)

• Solid working knowledge of SQL, APIs, and IFS Connect

Desirable

• IFS or security certifications (CISSP, CISM, ITIL)
