Senior IDAM Architect – Identity Pillar

Reference: fcmaj1600e0tzks9taio

We are seeking a Senior IDAM Architect to define and deliver the strategic direction for identity and access management across a complex, enterprise-wide technology landscape. As the lead architect for the Identity pillar, you will shape secure, scalable and resilient solutions that support workforce, customer, partner and machine identities. You will translate business and security requirements into practical architecture, establish target-state capabilities and ensure that identity services align with broader digital, cloud and cybersecurity strategies.

Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining IDAM architecture principles, roadmaps, standards and reference patterns; leading the design of authentication, authorisation, privileged access, identity lifecycle, directory and access governance solutions; and providing architectural oversight for major transformation and delivery programmes. You will assess existing capabilities, identify risks and improvement opportunities, and guide the adoption of modern approaches such as zero trust, risk-based access, federation, passwordless authentication and cloud identity. Working closely with security, infrastructure, application, data and business stakeholders, you will ensure that designs are secure, compliant, cost-effective and fit for purpose. You will also review solution proposals, support technology selection, manage technical dependencies and communicate complex concepts clearly to senior decision-makers.

The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in enterprise IDAM architecture, with a strong understanding of IAM technologies, identity governance, access management, directory services, federation protocols and privileged access management. Experience with cloud platforms, hybrid environments, modern authentication standards and large-scale transformation programmes is highly desirable. You should be comfortable operating at both strategic and detailed design levels, influencing stakeholders across multiple disciplines and working within structured governance and risk frameworks. Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to create clear architectural documentation and make sound decisions in a changing environment. Relevant professional certifications in security, architecture or identity management would be advantageous.
