Enterprise Identity Access Management Security Architect

As an Enterprise IAM Security Architect at JM Family, you will be essential in creating the enterprise security architecture strategy. Your role will involve making sure that security is integrated consistently across cloud platforms, identity and access, applications, data, and new AI technologies. You will work closely with the Enterprise Architecture, platform, and engineering teams. You will design and implement architecture patterns and guardrails. These patterns will be scalable, durable, and secure. The goal is to help the business advance quickly. You will also manage risk, compliance, and control.

This is an onsite/hybrid role from our Deerfield Beach campus in South Florida.

Responsibilities:

• Define and evolve the enterprise security architecture vision, principles, and roadmap aligned with business and technology strategy.

• Establish security standards, reference architectures, and reusable patterns that enable secure, scalable delivery across the organization.

• Embed security‑by‑design and Zero Trust principles across cloud, applications, integrations, data, and emerging technologies.

• Shape architectures where identity and access serve as the primary security control plane.

• Define scalable IAM and PAM architectures, including federation, SSO, conditional access, RBAC, managed identities, and privileged access.

• Architect and manage cloud security designs for the enterprise. This includes creating landing zones. It also involves developing account and subscription models, networking, and platform-level guardrails.

• Set standards for cloud-native security capabilities. This includes managing identity and access control. It also covers policy implementation, workload protection, secrets management, as well as logging and monitoring.

• Guide the secure design of applications, APIs, and integrations. Focus on authentication and authorization. Also, conduct threat modeling.

• Define security patterns for data protection, encryption, key management, and privacy‑by‑design.

• Provide architectural guidance for the secure adoption of AI‑enabled tools, automation, and agent‑based workflows.

• Partner with Enterprise Architecture and platform teams to drive adoption, governance, and consistency, and mentor other security architects.

Qualifications:

• A Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or Information Technology is required. Equivalent experience is also acceptable.

• 15+ years of experience in security architecture, security engineering, or enterprise‑scale technology architecture roles.

• Experience in defining strategies and standards for enterprise security architecture is required. You should also have knowledge of reference architectures.

• Demonstrated ability to operate at a principal level, influencing architecture decisions across multiple teams without direct authority.

• Solid understanding of identity‑centric security models, including IAM, federation, access control, and privileged access concepts.

• Hands‑on or architectural experience applying Zero Trust principles across cloud platforms, applications, and data environments.

• Experience designing and governing secure cloud platform architectures, including landing zones, guardrails, and platform controls.

• Solid knowledge of cloud-native security features. This includes identity integration. It also includes policy implementation, secrets management, logging, and monitoring.

• Experience in guiding secure application architecture. This includes designing API architecture. It also covers authentication, authorization, and threat modeling practices.

• Knowledge of data protection and privacy-by-design principles is required. This includes encryption, key management, data classification, and regulatory considerations.

• You should be aware of secure software delivery practices. These practices include CI/CD security, automation, and security-by-design approaches.

• Exposure to or experience governing AI‑enabled platforms, automation, or emerging technologies, with a focus on risk, access, and data protection.

• Solid knowledge of industry security frameworks and standards such as NIST, CIS, MITRE ATT&CK, or equivalent.

• Top-notch communication and documentation skills, with the ability to present architectural concepts to technical and executive audiences.

• Proven ability to collaborate across Enterprise Architecture, platform, engineering, and security teams to drive adoption and consistency.
