Job Summary:

The Enterprise Identity & Access Management (IAM) Architect is a senior architecture role responsible for defining the global IAM strategy, standards, and target architecture for a large, regulated enterprise. This role serves as the architectural authority and “North Star” owner for IAM, setting the direction that workforce, cloud, and platform teams execute against across regions.

This position focuses on architecture, standards, and governance, not day‑to‑day operations or tool administration. The Enterprise IAM Architect ensures that identity and access controls are consistent, scalable, auditable, and aligned with regulatory and risk expectations—while still allowing regions and platforms to adopt capabilities based on maturity.

Key Responsibilities:

Global IAM Strategy & Architecture

• Define and maintain the global IAM target state and multi‑year maturity roadmap (crawl walk run).
• Establish enterprise‑wide IAM architectural standards and reference patterns used by regional and platform teams.
• Own and curate the Enterprise IAM Pattern Book, ensuring patterns are reusable, authoritative, and consistently applied.
• Set global direction for authorization models, including RBAC and the evolution toward ABAC / PBAC where appropriate.

Standards, Governance & Decision Authority

• Act as the design authority for IAM, including decisions on global standards versus managed regional exceptions.
• Ensure IAM architecture aligns to regulatory and control frameworks (e.g., NIST CRI, NIST CSF, internal risk standards).
• Partner with risk, compliance, audit, and security leadership to ensure IAM controls are defensible and auditable by design.

Metrics & Maturity Management

• Define global IAM success metrics and maturity indicators in partnership with IAM Governance and Standards teams.
• Ensure metrics support visibility into adoption, control coverage, exception trends, and risk reduction.
