At Danaher, an Identity Security Architect is responsible for designing and implementing identity-security architecture across all Danaher digital principles. In this role, enterprise strategy is set collaboratively by business, IT, and security stakeholders. The role shapes and refines the identity-security requirements, then owns turning it into adoptable designs for authentication, authorization, lifecycle, governance, federation, conditional access, and identity threat detection. The role requires that individuals work both independently and integrates with stakeholders in HR, ITSM, infrastructure, cloud, and application teams.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to: 

• Architect identity security across workforce, privileged, machine, customer, and partner identities: authentication, authorization, lifecycle, IGA, federation, conditional access, ITDR. 

• Design safe authenticator recovery and service-desk anti-social-engineering controls. 

• Engineer/prototype integration patterns (HRIS, directories, IdP, SIEM/UEBA) to validate designs.

• 9+ years of cybersecurity experience with a focus on identity and access management (GCRF P4 Bachelor's-track minimum; recommended, pending Comp sign-off).

• Experience working independently with HR, IT service management, infrastructure, and application teams to design and govern identity controls. 

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in: 

• Experience with identity threat detection and response (ITDR), identity analytics/UEBA, or non-human / machine identity governance (NHI).
