- Design and document end-to-end IAM capabilities across IGA, access management, PAM, secrets, and non-human identities.
- Define integration patterns and reference architectures; evaluate build vs. buy and emerging IAM capabilities (e.g., passwordless, AI/agentic identities, decentralised identity) to deliver scalable services across applications, infrastructure, and DevOps tooling.
- Architect authentication and authorisation (SSO, MFA, RBAC/ABAC) and standardize protocols (OAuth2/OIDC, SAML, SCIM, LDAP).
- Lead IAM platform design and integration across cloud/hybrid (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, SailPoint, PingFederate/Ping Identity, AWS IAM, CyberArk or equivalent).
- Define identity lifecycle controls (joiner/mover/leaver, provisioning, access certifications, and role/entitlement modeling).
- Identify IAM risks and architecture gaps; define constraints and mitigations, and drive remediation through roadmap and delivery items.
- Ensure IAM controls and integrations meet security and regulatory requirements (e.g., NIST SP 800-63, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR) and support audit activities.

- Experience assessing IAM risks and security controls, defining mitigations, and supporting audits and compliance requirements (e.g., NIST/ISO).
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders effectively
- Collaborative team player who adapts quickly to changing priorities while maintaining attention to detail
- Proven ability to define IAM target state, reference architectures, standards, and multi-phase roadmaps aligned to Zero Trust.
- Experience with secrets management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault).
- Knowledge of DevSecOps practices and integrating IAM controls into CI/CD pipelines.
