Identity Architect

Reference: 5v7g5ek1k31pohmxr05j

We are seeking an experienced Identity Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable identity and access management solutions across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will develop the strategic architecture for identity services, supporting workforce, customer, partner, application and privileged access use cases. You will translate business and security requirements into practical architectural designs, establish technology roadmaps, and ensure that identity capabilities align with enterprise security, regulatory and operational objectives.

Your responsibilities will include designing and governing solutions for authentication, authorisation, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, privileged access management, identity governance, directory services and access lifecycle management. You will create architecture principles, standards, reference models and patterns, while assessing current capabilities and recommending improvements. Working closely with security, infrastructure, applications, data, risk and engineering teams, you will lead technical decisions, support solution delivery, and ensure that designs are resilient, interoperable and suitable for cloud and hybrid environments.

The successful candidate will have significant experience in identity and access management architecture, with strong knowledge of protocols and technologies such as SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, LDAP and Microsoft Entra ID or comparable platforms. Experience with zero-trust principles, role-based and attribute-based access control, identity federation, directory synchronisation and automation is highly desirable. You will be comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders, facilitating design workshops, documenting complex concepts and influencing outcomes without direct authority. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a pragmatic approach to balancing security, usability, cost and delivery requirements.
