The IAM Solution Designer is responsible for translating business security and technical requirements into detailed solution designs for Identity Access Management capabilities. The role ensures IAM solutions are aligned with architectural standards, security policies and operational needs and that they integrate effectively with enterprise systems, applications and cloud platforms. The Solution Designer works closely with architects, business analysts, engineers and vendors to ensure IAM capabilities are designed correctly and delivered successfully. Key Responsibilities

Solution Design Identity lifecycle: Joiner, Mover, Leaver Access request and approval workflows Access certification Role‑based access control (RBAC, ABAC) SSO, MFA and federation Privileged Access Management (PAM) Directory and identity data integrations Translate high‑level architecture into implementable designs and configuration specifications Define data flows, attribute mappings, provisioning logic and integration patterns Requirements Analysis Work with Business Analysts, Security and Architecture to understand and refine requirements Validate feasibility and identify design options, constraints and trade‑offs Ensure designs meet functional and non‑functional requirements: performance, security, resilience Integration Technical Leadership Design integrations between IAM platforms and enterprise applications, HR systems, directories and cloud services Define API, SSO and federation patterns using SAML, OAuth2, OIDC, SCIM and related standards Provide technical guidance to engineering teams during build and configuration Support role mining, access modelling and governance design activities Documentation Governance Produce high‑quality design artefacts including Solution Design Documents (SDDs) Data flow diagrams Integration specifications Interface contracts Ensure designs align with enterprise architecture and security governance Participate in design reviews and architecture boards Work closely with IAM vendors and implementation partners to ensure alignment with design intent Provide technical input into SOWs, vendor deliverables and integration requirements Collaborate with application owners to ensure smooth onboarding into IAM services Security Compliance & Risk Ensure IAM designs support regulatory audit and internal security policy requirements Embed least privilege, Zero Trust and strong identity hygiene principles into solution designs Identify design risks and propose mitigation strategies Support Delivery Testing Support engineering teams during build, configuration and integration Assist with test planning, test case definition and defect triage Validate that delivered functionality matches the approved design
