Overview

Security Solutions Architect - IAM. Flutter Global Cyber team is seeking an IAM Security Solutions Architect to contribute to the design, development and implementation of IAM capabilities across the Flutter ecosystem. IAM at Flutter is going through a period of change, with a new group-wide strategy and a technical roadmap to uplift the services to support the strategy in development. The role involves working with a variety of stakeholders including brand security and engineering teams, workplace technology, vendor technical account managers and technical consultancies to deliver the strategy.

The successful candidate will have a background with IAM, either in security architecture or security engineering, or through end user computing delivery, with a proven track record of enterprise-scale IAM or C-IAM projects in engineering or architecture roles. The candidate should be able to design and document secure and scalable IAM solutions tailored to the individual brands’ needs.

What You'll Be Doing

• Support the IAM architectural roadmap, working with security and enterprise architecture to align with the broader enterprise security and technology strategies.
• Design end-to-end IAM solutions covering identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management (PAM) and access management.
• Establish and maintain architecture patterns, standards, and reference designs for IAM across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
• Architect and oversee the implementation of authentication protocols including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), SAML 2.0, and FIDO2/WebAuthn.
• Drive the adoption of multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), and password-less authentication capabilities, enhancing and extending the conditional access implementation.
• Collaborate with peer functions such as Workplace Technology, Enterprise Architecture, Security Architecture as required.
• Engage with relevant teams to ensure IAM solutions comply with regulatory and control frameworks (including GDPR, SOX, PCI-DSS, NIST and ISO 27001).
• Support the analysis and delivery of RBAC, ABAC, and entitlement management frameworks.
• Support audit and assurance activities, producing architectural documentation and evidence as required.
• Act as the subject matter expert (SME) for IAM solutions, advising stakeholders and product teams on identity-related risks, capabilities and mitigations.
• Bring a customer-first mindset to ensure user experience remains a priority in IAM service delivery.
• Evaluate and support recommendations for IAM vendor solutions and tooling, contributing to procurement and commercial decisions.
• Act as a coach or mentor to junior colleagues to further IAM within Flutter.

What You'll Bring

• An understanding of federation protocols: SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SCIM, LDAP, Kerberos.
• Strong understanding of zero trust network access (ZTNA) and its application to identity architectures.
• Experience designing IAM solutions across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• An understanding of API security patterns, including OAuth token management and API gateway integration.
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) as applied to identity configuration.
• An understanding of PKI, certificate lifecycle management, and secrets management best practices.
• Architecture experience - ideally with a grounding in a recognised framework such as TOGAF, SABSA, or Zachman.
• Demonstrable experience working within complex, large-scale enterprise environments with diverse technology stacks.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture patterns, microservices, and containerisation (Kubernetes, Docker).

Essential

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related discipline - or equivalent demonstrable experience.
• 7+ years in identity and access management or information security roles, with at least 3 years in an architectural or engineering capacity.

Desirable

• Relevant professional certifications such as:
• Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)
• The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF)
• Experience in regulated industries (financial services, gaming, healthcare).

Behaviours & Competencies

• Strategic thinking - ability to connect IAM decisions to broader business and security outcomes.
• Communication - capable of conveying complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ownership - takes accountability for architectural decisions and their outcomes.
• Collaboration - builds effective working relationships across security, engineering, product, and compliance teams.
• Continuous learning - curiosity to remain current within the rapidly evolving identity governance and threat landscape ecosystem.
