Ahold Delhaize USA is hiring an IGA Domain and Solution Architect

Ahold Delhaize USA is looking for an IGA Domain and Solution Architect to join our Enterprise Architecture and Cyber Security & IAM community. You will help shape how access is managed across our organization, taking ownership of enterprise-wide Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) architecture. This includes everything from user provisioning and system integrations to RBAC/ABAC, authentication and authorization frameworks, and access governance capabilities.

What You'll Do

• Translate IT strategy into scalable IGA/IAM governance, standards, processes, and target operating models; define and monitor policies, procedures, and KPIs.
• Define and manage the IGA target-state architecture and roadmap, aligned with Global IT and Enterprise Architecture; advise stakeholders on portfolio priorities and investment choices.
• Provide architectural leadership across delivery: guide Product Owners, solution architects and engineers, and maintain core artifacts such as PSA documents, reference architecture, high-level designs, and IGA policies/standards.
• Design and review IGA solutions end-to-end: turn requirements into blueprints, ensure license-efficient and vendor-aligned designs, and deliver secure-by-design, compliant-by-design, scalable, and future-proof outcomes.
• Support delivery and operations as an escalation point: resolve design issues and risks, drive remediation and stability improvements, support audits and major incidents through impact analysis and RCA, and rotate as Manager on Duty (MoD) quarterly.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in IGA/IAM architecture, including designing target-state architectures and roadmaps in large, complex environments.
• Strong knowledge of IGA/IAM governance: policies, standards, procedures, controls, and KPI-driven process monitoring.
• Hands-on expertise in identity lifecycle capabilities, such as joiner/mover/leaver processes, provisioning, access requests/approvals, and access reviews/certifications.
• Solid understanding and practical application of RBAC/ABAC, authentication/authorization concepts, and secure-by-design / compliant-by-design principles.
• Experience producing and maintaining architecture deliverables such as reference architectures, PSA documents, and high-level solution designs.
• Ability to provide technical leadership and architectural guidance to Product Owners, solution architects, engineers, and delivery teams end-to-end.
• Strong stakeholder management skills—able to advise business and IT leaders on portfolio prioritization and investment decisions.
• Experience supporting operations: conducting incident impact analysis, RCA, supporting audits, and managing design deviations and technical debt.
