• Design solutions covering identity lifecycle, access governance, federation, MFA and privileged access.
• Own the technical content of Statements of Work and tender responses, including scope, deliverables, assumptions, dependencies, acceptance criteria and effort estimates.
• Translate SOCI, AESCSF and Essential Eight requirements into practical identity controls.
• Advise customers on identity roadmaps and provide design assurance to delivery teams.

What you’ll bring

• Senior, hands-on enterprise identity architecture experience across IAM, IGA and PAM.
• Customer-facing consulting or advisory experience and the confidence to explain and defend your design decisions with CISOs and technical teams.
• Experience leading discovery, scoping and estimation, and personally writing technical content for customer-ready SoWs or tenders.
• Practical experience with several identity platforms, such as SailPoint, Saviynt, CyberArk, Delinea, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or Entra ID Governance, Silverfort and CrowdStrike.

How to apply

Apply with your CV, preferred office and earliest start date. Include a short, anonymised example of an identity engagement you took from discovery through to a customer-ready SoW or tender. Tell us what you designed, how you estimated the work and which technical sections you personally wrote.
