IDAM Security Architect
We are seeking an experienced IDAM Security Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable identity and access management capabilities across a complex technology environment. You will develop architecture principles, reference designs and roadmaps covering identity governance, privileged access management, authentication, authorisation, directory services, federation and access lifecycle management. Working closely with security, infrastructure, application and delivery teams, you will ensure that identity services support business objectives while meeting regulatory, risk and operational requirements.
Your responsibilities will include assessing current identity and access capabilities, identifying security gaps and designing target-state solutions. You will provide architectural assurance for new and existing systems, review solution designs, and ensure that appropriate controls are embedded throughout the development and delivery lifecycle. You will establish standards for role-based and attribute-based access control, segregation of duties, joiner, mover and leaver processes, service accounts, non-human identities and privileged access. You will also contribute to threat modelling, risk assessments, security patterns, technical documentation and the resolution of complex incidents or audit findings.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in identity and access management architecture within large or technically diverse environments. You will have strong knowledge of IAM principles, Zero Trust, cloud and hybrid identity, SSO, MFA, federation protocols such as SAML and OpenID Connect, and directory technologies such as Active Directory or equivalent platforms. Experience with leading IAM or PAM products, access governance, automation and API integration would be advantageous. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as you will need to explain technical risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Relevant security or architecture qualifications, such as CISSP, SABSA, TOGAF or equivalent experience, are desirable.
