You will help clients design, implement and improve secure identity services across enterprise, cloud and hybrid environments, ensuring that access is appropriately governed, monitored and aligned with business and security requirements.
Your responsibilities will include leading IAM engagements from discovery and requirements gathering through to architecture, implementation and operational transition. You will assess current identity capabilities, develop target operating models and technical roadmaps, and provide practical recommendations across areas such as identity governance, privileged access management, authentication, directory services, single sign-on, role-based access control and access lifecycle management.

Experience with cloud security, zero trust principles, security architecture, automation or DevSecOps would be advantageous. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will work with technical teams, senior stakeholders and delivery partners to explain complex issues clearly and build consensus. Relevant professional certifications, security clearance or eligibility to obtain appropriate clearance may also be required.
