- Assess existing IAM environments, integrations and dependencies.
- Develop current, transition and target-state identity architectures.
- Produce architecture artefacts including HLDs, DSDs, integration designs and migration plans.
- Define authentication, provisioning, identity governance, privileged access and Single Sign-On (SSO) patterns.
- Identify technical risks, constraints and dependencies, providing solution recommendations.
- Provide architecture assurance throughout design, build, testing and deployment phases.
- Support security documentation, accreditation activities, testing and operational handover.
- Mentor engineers and provide technical direction across the delivery lifecycle.
Requirements
- Extensive experience designing enterprise IAM solutions in complex hybrid environments.
- Strong expertise in Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, AD FS, Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM), SSO, identity governance and privileged access management.
- Proven experience developing HLDs, DSDs and architecture documentation.
- Experience with identity lifecycle management and Joiner-Mover-Leaver processes.
- Knowledge of security assurance and accreditation activities, including SSPs, SRMPs, IRAP and AtO processes.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
- Microsoft Identity, Azure Architecture and/or Cyber Security certifications are highly regarded.
- Only those with Australian citizenship who have, or are willing to obtain an AGSVA clearance will be considered
