Solution & Architecture Design

• Architect end‑to‑end IAM solutions across AM, IGA, PAM, ITDR, and ISPM domains.
• Design and document modern identity architectures based on industry standards and Gartner Zero‑Trust principles (explicit verification, least privilege, assume breach).
• Develop architecture artifacts: policies, standards, patterns, diagrams, and integration designs.

Sales, Solution Architecture & Commercial Influence

• Work closely with Sales and Solution Architecture teams to shape, influence, and qualify IAM‑led deals, ensuring the proposed solutions are architecturally sound and aligned with client requirements.
• Provide architectural input to bid responses, proposals, RFPs, SOWs, scoping sessions, and client presentations.
• Use commercial acumen to articulate value, assess effort, support deal qualification, and balance cost–risk–benefit considerations for customers.
• Act as a key technical contributor in pre‑sales cycles, helping guide clients toward modern identity architectures and accelerating IAM adoption.

Assessment, Governance & Continuous Improvement

• Conduct deep‑dive IAM assessments and produce findings and recommendations across all identity layers.
• Support adoption of Zero‑Trust‑aligned controls, risk‑driven access policies, and identity posture management.
• Ensure architectural alignment with regulatory, compliance, and security frameworks.
• Maintain up‑to‑date knowledge of emerging IAM and identity security technologies, trends, and threats.

Stakeholder Leadership
