In short

As an Identity & Access Management Architect, you will define and own the target architecture and roadmap for large organizations, advising security and technology leaders. This client-facing role requires strong technical and business acumen, with a focus on securely adopting AI and building trusted client relationships. The position is hybrid and requires fluent Swedish and English, based in Stockholm, Göteborg, or Malmö.

Responsibilities

  • Own the target-state identity architecture for a client and the roadmap that gets them there, sequencing the work and defending the trade-offs.
  • Advise senior client stakeholders, translating business needs into a robust identity solution.
  • Lead the design across a program and guide the delivery team.
  • Identify patterns and integration challenges to ensure program success.
  • Shape new work by bringing design credibility into proposals and delivery.

Requirements

  • Depth in identity and access management, with a track record of owning and defending design decisions.
  • Ability to build an adoptable capability, not just deploy or maintain a single product.
  • Comfort across functional and technical aspects of identity, with stakeholder skills to lead client conversations.
  • Solid grasp of software architecture, integration patterns, and application onboarding.
  • Breadth in adjacent disciplines like cloud, enterprise integration, and directory services.
  • Approximately 6+ years of relevant experience.
  • Fluent Swedish and English.
  • Based in Stockholm, Göteborg or Malmö, on a hybrid pattern.
  • Comfortable working across sectors and adapting designs to client contexts.

Desired Qualifications

  • A relevant degree, ideally with a postgraduate qualification.
  • Security or enterprise-architecture certifications (e.g. CISSP, CISM, SABSA, TOGAF).
  • Design depth across more than one identity platform, or on enterprise-scale estates with demanding integration needs.
  • Breadth beyond IAM into the wider security or cloud-architecture picture.

Benefits

  • A place to grow and learn.
  • Work that carries real weight with long-lasting client decisions and relationships.
  • Part of a Sweden-based identity team within Accenture's wider security practice.
  • Scale of a global firm for a long career.
  • Scope to move across industries and geographies.
  • Opportunities to design trustworthy access as clients transform and adopt AI.
