Human Domain Solutions Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Managing Director, Domain Architect - Identity is the senior-most architectural authority for the Identity domain, accountable for defining and driving the target-state architecture for Identity & Access Management across the enterprise. This role provides deep architectural leadership across workforce IAM, privileged access, customer and partner identity, machine and workload identity, and emerging agentic / AI-driven identity use cases.

The Managing Director acts as the design authority and strategic advisor to the Head of IAM, technology leadership, and cybersecurity executives-ensuring identity capabilities scale securely, consistently, and in line with enterprise and regulatory expectations.
Key Responsibilities
Domain Architecture Leadership
• Own the enterprise Identity domain target architecture, including IAM, IGA, PAM, CIAM, machine and non-human identities, federation, and authorization services.
• Define and maintain Identity reference architectures, design patterns, and architectural principles, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and Zero Trust objectives.
• Serve as the final design authority for material identity solutions and major identity-related programs.
Strategy to Execution
• Translate business, regulatory, and cybersecurity strategy into a clear, sequenced Identity architecture roadmap.
• Partner with IAM product, engineering, and operations leaders to ensure architectural intent is realized consistently in delivery.
• Guide modernization initiatives including platform rationalization, cloud-native identity, passwordless authentication, and identity orchestration.
Enterprise & Central EA Collaboration
• Operate as the Identity Domain counterpart to Central Enterprise Architecture, ensuring alignment while defending domain-specific architectural needs.
• Escalate and arbitrate design decisions that have enterprise-wide risk, cost, or precedent implications.
• Contribute identity expertise to Architecture Review Boards (ARB) and Technology Review Boards (TRB).
Risk, Control, and Regulatory Alignment
• Ensure Identity architectures align with financial-services regulatory expectations and internal risk frameworks.
• Embed security-by-design, least privilege, strong authentication, and auditability across all identity patterns.
• Act as a trusted architectural partner in regulatory discussions where identity design is material to outcomes.
Emerging Identity Capabilities
• Provide architectural leadership for non-human identity, service accounts, secrets management, and agentic / AI identity patterns.
• Continuously assess emerging identity standards, protocols, and industry practices, incorporating them where strategically appropriate.
Leadership & Influence
• Mentor and develop senior and principal-level identity architects.
• Influence senior stakeholders across technology, cybersecurity, and the business without direct authority.
• Represent the Identity architecture function with credibility at managing director, executive, and board-adjacent levels.
Qualifications & Experience
• 15+ years of experience in Identity & Access Management, security architecture, or enterprise architecture in large, regulated environments.
• Deep hands-on architectural expertise across IAM, PAM, CIAM, federation, directories, authorization, and cloud identity.
• Demonstrated experience defining and governing domain architectures at enterprise scale.
• Strong understanding of regulatory, audit, and risk considerations in financial services.
Education & Certifications (preferred)
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
