This is a strategic architecture role focused on IAM transformation, governance, automation, and roadmap development—not day-to-day operational support.
The ideal candidate will bring deep experience designing and leading enterprise IAM programs within large organizations and will be responsible for evaluating the current state, identifying gaps, and developing a scalable IAM architecture aligned with business and security objectives.
Required Experience:
• 10+ years of Identity & Access Management experience with recent IAM Architecture responsibilities
• Proven experience designing IAM solutions for large enterprise environments (30,000+ users preferred)
• Strong hands-on experience with SailPoint (IdentityIQ and/or IdentityNow)
• Expertise in identity provisioning, lifecycle management, role-based access control (RBAC), and access governance
• Experience developing IAM roadmaps, target-state architectures, and transformation strategies
• Strong understanding of identity governance, certifications, segregation of duties, and compliance controls
• Experience integrating IAM platforms with complex application ecosystems and enterprise platforms
• Ability to communicate effectively with executive leadership, security teams, infrastructure teams, and business stakeholders
Preferred Experience:
• Healthcare, hospital, academic medical center, or higher education environments
• Experience supporting complex identity ecosystems with multiple user populations and identity sources
• Knowledge of Epic or other healthcare application environments
• Experience with authentication modernization, SSO, MFA, federation, and cloud identity platforms
• Background leading enterprise IAM transformation initiatives and governance programs
Key Responsibilities:
• Assess current IAM environment, processes, and technology landscape
• Define future-state IAM architecture and strategic roadmap
• Identify opportunities for automation, governance improvements, and operational efficiencies
• Establish IAM standards, best practices, and architectural direction
• Partner with security, infrastructure, application, and business teams to align IAM initiatives with organizational goals
• Provide executive-level recommendations and guidance on IAM strategy and transformation efforts
