Identity and Access Management Architect (IDAM)

We are seeking an experienced Identity and Access Management Architect to design, develop and govern secure, scalable identity services across a complex technology environment. You will define and maintain the IDAM architecture, ensuring it supports business requirements, regulatory obligations and modern security principles. The role will focus on identity lifecycle management, authentication, authorisation, privileged access, federation and directory services across cloud, hybrid and on-premises platforms.

Key responsibilities include developing IDAM strategies, roadmaps, standards and reference architectures; leading the design of solutions for workforce, customer and machine identities; and ensuring effective integration with enterprise applications, infrastructure and cloud services. You will provide technical leadership for initiatives involving single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, role-based and attribute-based access control, identity governance, access certification and automated provisioning. You will also assess existing controls, identify risks and improvement opportunities, contribute to security reviews, and ensure solutions align with relevant policies, standards and data protection requirements.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in identity architecture or a closely related security role, with strong knowledge of IAM principles, security protocols and technologies such as SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP and SCIM. Experience with leading IAM or identity governance platforms, directory technologies, privileged access management and cloud identity services is highly desirable. You will be comfortable producing architectural documentation, technical designs and implementation guidance, while communicating effectively with engineers, project teams, suppliers and senior stakeholders. Strong analytical, problem-solving and influencing skills are essential, along with the ability to balance security, usability, resilience and operational needs.
