  • 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 management, risk, 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, and that solutions are implemented as designed.
  • Participate in and support the execution of RBC architecture governance.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in a technical area of study (computer science, mathematics, engineering, etc.) or other BS/BA degree with a concentration in computer science or information systems.
  • IT experience of 15+ years with 7+ years in solution architecture experience on large projects, with proven experience in defining and evolving the architectures of solutions with large user bases from project initiation to implementation to support.
  • Technical leadership and strong verbal and written communication skills to guide project delivery teams to implement the solutions that you have defined; strong negotiation skills to compel stakeholders to adopt your recommendations.
  • Extensive knowledge and application of IAM capabilities: authentication, authorization, user, credential, and role management, access certification, privileged access management, secrets management, etc.; hands-on experience with designing solutions with these capabilities and the use of these solutions across workforce and customer user populations.
  • Extensive experience in designing solutions to meet regulatory requirements in Canada, the UK, and US applicable to the financial services industry.
  • Diverse solutioning experience in a variety of environments, platforms, and channels, including multi-cloud, SaaS, on-prem, off-prem, mainframe, web, mobile, call centre, public clients, etc.
  • Practical experience in applying a variety of design patterns in solutions, including n-tier, containerization, SPA, microservices, events-driven architecture, SOA, modern data architectures.
