Enterprise Identity & Access Management Architect
We are seeking an experienced Enterprise Identity & Access Management Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable identity capabilities across a complex technology environment. In this strategic role, you will shape the enterprise IAM roadmap, establish architectural standards, and ensure that identity services support business priorities, regulatory obligations, and evolving security requirements. You will work across infrastructure, applications, cloud platforms, cybersecurity, risk, and business teams to design resilient solutions that enable appropriate access for employees, customers, partners, and service accounts.
Your responsibilities will include developing target-state architectures and reference designs for identity governance, privileged access management, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, federation, directory services, secrets management, and role-based or attribute-based access control. You will assess existing capabilities, identify risks and improvement opportunities, and lead the evaluation and integration of IAM technologies. The role will also involve defining access models, lifecycle processes, control frameworks, and technical patterns; supporting major transformation programmes; reviewing solution designs; and providing architectural guidance through implementation. You will help establish effective monitoring, auditability, resilience, and incident response practices while ensuring solutions align with security principles such as least privilege and zero trust.
To succeed, you will bring substantial experience designing and implementing enterprise IAM solutions, ideally within large, regulated, or highly distributed environments. You should have strong knowledge of cloud and hybrid identity architectures, directory and federation protocols, authentication technologies, privileged access, identity governance, and modern security frameworks. Experience with platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta, CyberArk, SailPoint, or equivalent tools would be valuable. Strong stakeholder management, communication, documentation, and influencing skills are essential, along with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business outcomes. Relevant professional certifications in security, architecture, or identity management are desirable.
