IAM Lead Architect

As an IAM Lead Architect, you will play a key role in developing and driving our Identity and Access Management offering. You will become part of a dedicated team of specialists and consultants, covering both technical and GRC-focused areas, where you will lead and develop our capabilities and function within the field. The role primarily involves leading expertise, processes, and strategic initiatives, rather than having direct personnel management responsibility.

As an IAM Lead Architect, you will be responsible for further developing our capabilities in the field and supporting our clients on their strategic journey within Identity Governance, Access Management, and Privileged Access Management.
