The Principal Technical Consultant (PTC) Identity Focused Security Architect is a hands-on delivery leader who designs and leads identity solution implementations in client environments. You will own identity workstreams end to end, driving architecture, implementation planning, execution oversight, and stakeholder alignment, primarily across Microsoft identity (Active Directory and Entra ID), IGA, and modern authentication patterns (SSO, MFA, password less). Experience with other IAM platforms (e.g., Okta) and PAM (e.g., Delinea, CyberArk)  experience is a plus.

Core Responsibilities

Identity architecture and implementation leadership: 

  • Lead identity workstreams from discovery and current state analysis through target state architecture, implementation planning, delivery oversight, and closeout. 
  • Design and deliver Microsoft identity solutions with a deep focus on Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, including hybrid identity patterns where applicable. 
  • Drive the technical approach for modern authentication and federation capabilities, including SSO, MFA, and password less. 
  • Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) delivery:

  • Lead and or execute IGA-focused deliverables such as: 
  • Joiner mover-leaver lifecycle processes 
  • Provisioning and deprovisioning patterns 
  • Access request workflows where applicable 
  • Role and policy model improvement to reduce risk and increase operational clarity 
  • Access control model design:

  • Apply and communicate access control methodologies, including RBAC, ABAC, and PBAC, translating business requirements into implementable identity and authorization designs. 
  • Client-facing consulting and execution:

  • Own day-to-day technical leadership with clients: requirements sessions, whiteboarding, design reviews, implementation coordination, and executive-ready communication. 
  • Coordinate delivery across client stakeholders (engineering teams through senior security leaders) to align on priorities, sequencing, and execution plans. 
  • Produce clear, high-quality deliverables (architecture diagrams, implementation plans, runbooks, and decision documentation).
  • Required Qualifications

  • Strong Microsoft identity architecture and implementation experience, especially Active Directory and Entra ID. 
  • Hands-on IGA knowledge and delivery experience in real client environments. 
  • Strong understanding of access control methodologies: RBAC, ABAC, PBAC. 
  • Strong authentication expertise: SSO, MFA, password less, with design and implementation level understanding. 
  • Demonstrated ability to lead implementation, not just advise; planning, execution oversight, and delivery ownership. 
  • Proven client-facing consulting capability: stakeholder management, clear communication, and whiteboard-ready technical leadership.
  • Plus scope responsibilities (nice to haves)

  • Support implementations or integrations with other IAM platforms (Okta or comparable solutions). 
  • Contribute to or support PAM initiatives (Privileged Access Management), such as privileged access workflows, vaulting patterns, and privileged lifecycle controls, when in scope. 
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience implementing or supporting EntraID, Okta, or similar IAM platforms. 
  • PAM experience (Privileged Access Management). 
  • Scripting or automation exposure (PowerShell, Python) to support identity integrations and operationalization. 
  • Experience working in large, complex environments developing global strategies for successful implementation delivery. 
  • What success looks like

  • Clients receive identity architectures that are implementable, not theoretical, backed by an execution plan, and delivered outcomes. 
  • Identity workstreams are delivered smoothly with strong coordination, clear documentation, and stakeholder alignment. 
  • Authentication and governance controls measurably improve security posture while supporting business usability. 

  • Why AHEAD:
     
    Through our daily work and internal groups like Moving Women AHEAD and RISE AHEAD, we value and benefit from diversity of people, ideas, experience, and everything in between.
