The Lead IGA Security Architect is the enterprise authority for Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) and serves as the strategic owner for how digital identities, access rights, and entitlements are governed across the organization. This role defines the architectural vision, standards, and integration patterns for the full identity ecosystem—with a particular emphasis on enterprise wide source application integrations, which are foundational to identity lifecycle automation, governance accuracy, and access risk reduction.
This position plays a mission critical role in ensuring that identity data from HRIS, ERP, directories, cloud platforms, and business applications is accurately ingested, normalized, and governed. The Lead IGA Security Architect operates with broad autonomy, advising executives, influencing strategic direction, collaborating with cross functional teams, and solving complex identity challenges that have material impact on security, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Architectural Strategy & Leadership

• Lead architectural oversight of the IGA platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, and alignment with Zero Trust and broader cybersecurity strategy.
• Provide expert guidance to senior leadership on identity governance maturity, risk, gaps, and required investments.

• Serve as the primary architect responsible for all enterprise source system integrations that supply identity, access, and entitlement data into the IGA ecosystem—including HRIS platforms, ERP systems, custom business applications, directories, cloud services, and SaaS platforms.
• Develop integration patterns, data models, mapping standards, and authoritative source configurations that ensure high‑quality, accurate, and consistent identity data across the enterprise.
• Oversee the full lifecycle of integration design—from requirements gathering and data profiling to connector architecture, API development standards, SCIM usage, event‑driven identity flows, and validation of downstream provisioning.
• Ensure integration reliability, failover design, data quality checks, exception handling, and governance controls for all identity‑related data pipelines.
• Prioritize and manage integration onboarding at an enterprise scale, ensuring the IGA platform expands in pace with business, application, and cloud adoption.
• Partner with application owners, HR, IT operations, and engineering teams to ensure integrations meet compliance, risk, and architectural requirements.

Identity Governance Design & Engineering

• Architect enterprise RBAC, ABAC, and policy‑based access models.
• Design access certification frameworks, segregation‑of‑duties controls, and entitlement governance standards.
• Oversee provisioning workflows, connector logic, identity data transformation, and workflow automation.
• Ensure identity policies are aligned with regulatory and audit requirements.

Compliance, Audit, & Risk Management

• Ensure identity governance practices support SOX, HIPAA, PCI, ISO 27001, NIST, and internal controls requirements.
• Develop identity governance controls that reduce audit findings and enhance entitlement hygiene.
• Partner with Internal Audit and Risk to interpret regulatory expectations and translate them into IGA patterns and workflows.
