What is the opportunity?

You will be responsible for architectural delivery in the IAM Domain for Global Cyber Security Services. You will play a critical role in defining the end-to-end architectures and designs for both workforce and customer IAM solutions within a global multi-cloud environment, and driving RBC incrementally towards an event, API, and ML/AI-based target state architecture. This is a deeply technical, delivery, and leadership-oriented role, and provides a unique opportunity to work closely with numerous business and functional areas across the bank.

What will you do?

• Define solutions realizing workforce and customers’ IAM capabilities, develop and evolve solution architectures and designs, demonstrate solutions meet stakeholders’ requirements, and obtain approval on your architectures and designs at the architecture review board.
• Propose, evaluate and recommend solution alternatives that best meet business strategy, requirements, current state environment constraints and alignment to target state architecture.
• Deliver architectures and designs in both agile and iterative waterfall project delivery models and propose and implement improvements to improve the viability of the solutions to meet program timelines, budget and quality measurements.
• Support the development of comprehensive IAM strategy roadmaps, providing input to ensure project investments are moving RBC towards the target state architecture, and representing the architecture renewal and maintenance perspective.
• Author patterns to drive reuse of IAM solutions across the bank.
• Drive the technical evaluation of third-party technologies and products.
• Be an authoritative and trusted partner with deep, practical experience in workforce and customer IAM and solution architecture best practices to various business and functional areas across the bank, as well as to various risk management and governance functions.
• Liaise with cloud, integration, data, security and infrastructure architecture and development/engineering teams to ensure that all solution architecture views are defined and elaborated.
• Participate in and support the execution of RBC architecture governance.
