Job Description

Cognizant is hiring a CyberSecurity Architect specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM) for an onsite role in Juno Beach, FL. In this position, you will help assess, strengthen, and mature Identity Governance, Access Management, and Privileged Access Management programs, working closely across IAM, Security, Risk, Audit, and Compliance.

With a focus on identity compliance outcomes, you will evaluate current-state capabilities, identify gaps tied to regulatory and industry expectations, and translate those findings into practical control improvements and roadmaps. This role emphasizes documentation, assessment rigor, and stakeholder collaboration to support audit readiness and compliance reporting.

What you’ll do

Assess and document identity governance maturity across IAM, IGA, and PAM domains using industry frameworks and regulatory standards, including NERC CIP (CIP-004, CIP-005, CIP-007).
Perform current-state assessments and identify gaps across identity lifecycle management, access certifications, Segregation of Duties (SoD), privileged access controls, and related governance processes.
Gather, analyze, document, and validate business and compliance requirements for identity governance and access management programs.
Develop identity compliance roadmaps, improvement plans, and maturity models aligned to regulatory, audit, and security objectives.
Facilitate stakeholder workshops, interviews, and assessment sessions with IAM, Security, Risk, Audit, and business teams.
Define and document identity governance policies, controls, standards, and compliance requirements.
Collaborate with IAM and security stakeholders to define KPIs, KRIs, metrics, dashboards, and reporting for identity compliance posture.
Support audit readiness through evidence gathering, compliance reporting, and remediation tracking.
Analyze risk exposures tied to access management, user lifecycle management, privileged access, and certification controls.
Produce executive assessments, findings reports, and recommendations to improve identity governance maturity and reduce compliance risk.

What you bring

5+ years of experience in Business Analysis, IAM Governance, Compliance, Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Risk Management, or Cybersecurity Governance roles.
Strong working knowledge of IAM, IGA, PAM, access governance, user lifecycle management, access certifications, and SoD controls.
Experience conducting compliance assessments, maturity assessments, gap analyses, and control evaluations.
Knowledge of frameworks and regulations including NERC CIP, NIST, ISO 27001, SOX, and identity/access governance best practices.
Experience facilitating stakeholder workshops, gathering requirements, documenting processes, and building governance recommendations.
Familiarity with IAM platforms such as SailPoint, Saviynt, CyberArk, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or similar solutions.
Strong analytical, documentation, reporting, and stakeholder communication skills.
Experience developing governance metrics, dashboards, compliance reporting, and executive presentations.
Ability to translate regulatory requirements into operational controls and improvement initiatives.
Relevant certifications such as CISA, CRISC, CISSP, Security+, SailPoint, or other identity governance certifications are preferred.
