You provide architectural leadership to DevOps squads and stakeholders by translating strategic objectives into actionable solution designs. Through guidance, inspiration, and technical expertise, you help teams make sound technology decisions while ensuring alignment across products, platforms, and squads.

• Contribute to architectural roadmaps and target-state designs for the Identity Provider landscape, spanning on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.
• Participate in the IAM Architecture Board and represent the interests and strategic direction of the department.
• Drive architecture decision-making by assessing alternative scenarios, evaluating trade-offs, and providing clear architectural recommendations.
• Inspire, mentor, and coach DevOps engineers and technical specialists to continuously improve engineering quality and architectural maturity.
• Promote standardization, simplification, resiliency, and security across IAM platforms and services.
• Identify opportunities for modernization and support the bank's transformation towards future-state identity solutions.

• Deep understanding of Identity and Access Management concepts, identity lifecycle management, authentication, authorization, and federation.
• Strong expertise in Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, federation, and hybrid identity architectures.
• Demonstrated experience defining target architectures, architectural roadmaps, reference architectures, and solution designs aligned with strategic and security objectives.
