SailPoint Architect - IAM/IGA

Your Responsibilities

Strategy, Architecture & Governance

• Evolve and maintain the global IGA/IAM architecture strategy, aligned with Enterprise Architecture and Security.
• Define architectural principles, standards, and target-state models for:

• Identity Governance (SailPoint ISC)
• Access Management (Entra ID)
• Privileged Access Management (PAM)

• Design scalable, cloud‑ready IAM/IGA architectures for hybrid environments.
• Develop and maintain architectural blueprints, reference architectures, and technical guidelines.
• Ensure architectural consistency across programs, projects, and regional deployments.

Architectural Control & Integration

• Provide architectural leadership for IAM/IGA‑related initiatives, with a focus on SailPoint ISC integrations.
• Ensure adherence to architectural, security, and compliance standards.
• Evaluate new requirements for architectural fit, scalability, and governance impact.
• Support complex integrations (HR systems, directories, applications, PAM tools) from design through implementation.
• Oversee onboarding of new systems into the IGA ecosystem, including connector design, lifecycle automation, and policy enforcement.
• Assist with troubleshooting, root‑cause analysis, and technical decision‑making.
• Work closely with engineering teams to ensure sustainable, maintainable implementations.

Identity Governance & Business Alignment

• Advance identity governance models and access frameworks (RBAC, ABAC, business roles, access certifications).
• Support integration of IGA into business processes across the identity lifecycle (Joiner, Mover, Leaver).
• Incorporate regulatory requirements (SOX, ISO 27001, GDPR) and audit findings into architectural design.
• Ensure alignment between business needs, security requirements, and technical capabilities.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

• Advise IT, business stakeholders, and leadership on strategic IAM/IGA decisions.
• Conduct architectural reviews, design workshops, and technical deep dives.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non‑technical audiences.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Evaluate emerging technologies, trends, and best practices in IGA.
• Develop architectural guidelines and reusable patterns for SailPoint ISC and Entra ID.
• Mentor engineers strengthen internal IAM/IGA capability.
