• Propose, evaluate, and recommend solution alternatives that best meet business strategy, requirements, current state environment constraints, and alignment to target state architecture.
• Deliver architectures and designs in both agile and iterative waterfall project delivery models. Propose and guide delivery teams through phased solution delivery approaches to improve the viability of the solutions to meet program timelines, budget, and quality measurements, and to deliver releases with measurable business value frequently and regularly to Production.
• Support the development of comprehensive IAM strategy roadmaps, providing input to ensure project investments are moving RBC towards the target state architecture, and representing the architecture renewal and maintenance perspective.
• Author patterns to drive reuse of IAM solutions across the bank and its subsidiaries.
• Drive the technical evaluation of third-party technologies and products.
• Be an authoritative and trusted partner with deep, practical experience in customer and workforce IAM, and solution architecture best practices to various business and functional areas across the bank, as well as to risk management 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.
• Participate in and support the execution of RBC architecture governance.

• 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 of IAM-related security capabilities (e.g., authorization, authentication, user, credential, and role management, identity verification, access certification, access control models (RBAC, ABAC, etc.), privileged access management, etc.) and their realization and application across customer and workforce user populations.
• Experience designing enterprise security services that are highly reusable across a wide variety of requirements and use cases.
• 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.
