Recruiting for this role ends on 4/25/2026.
Work you'll do
Lead Identity and Access Management (IAM) initiatives for DT-US as the leader of the US IAM Cyber Security team, maturing IAM into a modern, product-driven identity platform aligned with Deloitte's business requirements and go to market strategies.
Provide strategic leadership, architectural direction, and engineering oversight across Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Authentication (Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), passwordless), and emerging domains such as authorization services, workload/machine identity, and AI/agentic identity.
Drive the evolution of IAM from tool-based implementations to scalable platform services, focused on secure, low-friction access across workforce, partner, client, and machine identities.
Illustrative Duties and Responsibilities
Lead the execution of aligning applications and systems to Deloitte's next-generation IAM platform, including identity lifecycle, authentication, authorization, and privileged access capabilities, while ensuring alignment with global enterprise direction and U.S. MF business requirements.
Define and implement IAM architecture and standards, in alignment with global enterprise strategy and with influence on that strategy to reflect U.S. MF business requirements, including:
Identity data architecture (authoritative sources, identity lifecycle, identity correlation)
Authentication platforms (SSO, MFA, passwordless)
Authorization strategy (policy-based access, fine-grained access control)
Privileged and workload identity (ephemeral access, secrets management)
Establish and lead IAM as a product-based operating model, organizing teams around platform capabilities (e.g., Identity Platform, Governance, Privileged Access, Authorization).
Oversee a team responsible for the design, integration, deployment, and operation of IAM services, ensuring scalability, reliability, adoption, and alignment with enterprise and business priorities.
Serve as a trusted advisor to stakeholders to design and deliver IAM solutions and strategies that balance security, usability, and business enablement, while ensuring U.S. MF requirements are effectively represented in broader enterprise decisions.
Drive the transition from traditional role-based access control (RBAC) to policy-based and attribute-driven access models (ABAC / contextual authorization).
Lead the implementation of modern identity capabilities, including:
Machine and workload identity (APIs, services, pipelines)
Secrets management and credential lifecycle automation
Just-in-time (JIT) and ephemeral privileged access
Identity services exposed via APIs for developer consumption
Communicate IAM architecture, strategy, and implementation approaches at both technical and business levels, including across global and U.S. MF stakeholders, to drive alignment, understanding, and adoption.
Lead senior team members in the design, development, testing, and implementation of IAM solutions, controls, and governance frameworks.
Perform technology research, hands-on evaluation, and provide architectural recommendations aligned to enterprise strategy, global standards, and U.S. MF business use cases.
Evaluate and guide build vs. buy decisions for emerging IAM capabilities such as authorization platforms and workload identity frameworks, considering enterprise strategy, global alignment, and business needs.
As part of the largest component within a global enterprise, influence IAM strategies, standards, and platform direction to ensure global alignment with U.S. MF business requirements.
Decision Making / Judgment Required
Define and execute IAM strategy, architecture, and operating model with a high degree of autonomy.
Make enterprise-level decisions regarding identity platforms, authorization models, and governance frameworks, that must complement business strategy and integrate within the global enterprise.
Balance strategic transformation goals with operational stability.
Lead complex IAM initiatives, including cross-functional alignment and stakeholder consensus building.
Navigate ambiguity and evolving requirements, particularly in emerging areas such as AI/agentic identity and machine identity.
Continuously improve IAM posture from both technical and business perspectives.
