Responsibilities:
ICAM Strategy & Enterprise Architecture
- Develop and maintain the enterprise ICAM strategy and future state architecture across identity, credential, authentication, and access services.
- Define modernization roadmaps aligned with Zero Trust, cloud identity patterns, and federal ICAM guidance (M 19 17, A 130, NIST 800 63, 800 53).
- Conduct architectural assessments across ICAM service towers (IdMAX, NED, NCAD, Entra ID, NAMS/SNAMS, Credentialing Services, eAuth, EPACS, PKI).
Governance, Compliance & Risk Alignment
- Lead architectural alignment with federal identity requirements, including OMB, FISMA, NIST, CDM, and agency wide cybersecurity strategies.
- Support ICAM governance bodies by preparing architecture artifacts, decision briefs, risk assessments, and compliance evaluations.
