Headquarters in Austin, Texas, with over 1,500 employees worldwide, Planview serves more than 3,000 customers and 3.1 million users globally, including 45 of the Fortune 100.

•   Understanding of identity and access management concepts (SSO, OAuth, RBAC, SAML).

•   Knowledge of the Planview product ecosystem, particularly KeyedIn or other PPM solutions.
