Role Purpose The L4 technical authority for delivering Identity Services change now. The role takes the programme's immediate security objectives, assesses the live environment, designs the solution needed to solve the problem at hand and gets it implemented. Depending on scale and risk, they either implement alone or in partnership with the Managed Service Provider. They work autonomously and own the outcome. The role works side by side with the Operational Delivery Owners. They run the business, and this role transforms the business. 2. Why the Role Exists\nA security-heavy programme has short-term objectives that need significant identity change, with some digital workplace impact.\nThe Head of End User Computing lacks the bandwidth to design and validate it personally.\nDelivery needs someone who can read live systems and design changes that are safe for production.\nOperational teams need to stay focused on running services while a dedicated expert leads the change. 3. Key Responsibilities Architecture and Design\nDesign practical, short-term architecture to solve the problem at hand across identity services, on-premises and cloud.\nEstablish the true current state from live configuration, including risks, drift and technical debt.\nProduce designs, runbooks, impact assessments and rollback plans.\nRecord key technical decisions. Implementation and Technical Leadership\nDecide the delivery approach for each change, based on scale and risk:\nAlone: implement complex or high-risk changes personally.\nIn partnership: work with the Managed Service Provider, giving clear step-by-step instructions and validation criteria, and quality-assuring the results.\nAct as the L4 technical escalation point for change-related issues.\nCoach Managed Service and IDC colleagues. Security Programme Delivery\nWork with the Security Program & Project Manager to turn the Information Security Manager's requirements into an operable technical reality.\nDeliver specific, agreed jobs within a reasonable time.\nConfirm with Security that each delivered change meets the requirement. Security owns the overall security posture. Collaboration with Operational Delivery Owners\nPlan change around live service needs and minimise operational impact.\nHand over changed services with documentation and knowledge transfer, so they can run them in BAU.\nUse their operational insight in designs, so what is built is supportable. Planning and Governance\nBreak objectives into work packages with estimates and dependencies.\nReport status and risks clearly to the programme and senior stakeholders.\nFollow change governance. 4. Technical Scope\nIdentity (core): Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, including hybrid environments, authentication and access controls.\nSecurity: Identity security controls, hardening and compliance.\nAutomation: Scripting and tooling to deliver and maintain the changes.\nDigital Workplace (strong nice to have): Device and endpoint management (Intune) and policy management (Group Policy). 5. Skills and Experience Essential\n10+ years in enterprise infrastructure or identity, 5+ at architect or lead level.\nExpert in Active Directory and Entra ID in complex hybrid environments.\nProven delivery of large-scale security-driven change.\nCan analyse live systems and design safe change without complete documentation.\nHands-on scripting and automation skills.\nExperience working in partnership with Managed Service teams and quality-assuring their work.\nExcellent English communication, and works independently. Strong Nice to Have\nWorking knowledge of Intune and Group Policy. Desirable\nRelevant Microsoft certifications (e.g. SC-300, AZ-500, MD-102).\nSecurity framework knowledge (NIST, CIS, ISO 27001).\nITIL and global delivery centre experience. 6. Behaviours Ownership (delivers, not just designs) | Autonomy | Pragmatism | Precision in production change | Calm under pressure\nKey Responsibilities\nSkill Requirements\nOther Requirements","description_format":"text","description_chars":3986,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Professional Services","Science & Engineering","Systems Integrators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T19:18:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-solution-architect-iam-operations","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-solution-architect-iam-operations.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T13:35:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16605,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":225},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=225"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-iam-operations"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-iam-operations"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-iam-operations"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hcltech-solution-architect-iam-operations\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-iam-operations"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3763658}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"hcltech.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3763658},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
