 Only include if they are going to be exclusive to IGA and not AM or PAM

 yes they are only for IGA. There will be another architect for cross functional role

What kind of degree and why was this one chosen over something like CS or Cyber

General Bachelors degree. I dont think this is something that must relate to cyber security in general.

Which ones are you looking for You have specific certs listed below but not here where it would really matter.

Also if this role is specific to SailPoint as indicated in the first paragraph why bother with a MSFT cert.

Why are these nice to have if this is more of a technical role This seems un-neede
