Identity and Access Management Architect

Open Dealer Exchange (ODE), is seeking a Cybersecurity Architect to support its workforce in Southfield, MI. As a Cybersecurity Architect, you will own and mature our identity security posture across a complex, multi-platform environment, serving as the primary driver of a structured role based access control (RBAC) program and a trusted technical advisor across infrastructure, IT, and development teams. The ideal candidate will have deep experience with Entra ID, Active Directory, identity lifecycle automation, and governing access in regulated enterprise environments. Open Dealer Exchange is a dynamic, exciting place to work. Open Dealer Exchange offers a hybrid work model as well as an excellent compensation/benefit package.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement enterprise RBAC: Build a cohesive role-based access control model across Entra ID, Active Directory, and Entra External ID, replacing ad hoc access grants with governed, role-aligned entitlements.
• Lead identity lifecycle automation: Integrate the HR system with Entra ID to automate provisioning and deprovisioning, ensuring access changes are event-driven and auditable at the point of hire, transfer, and termination.
• Govern directory structure and access hygiene: Define and enforce naming conventions, group structures, and access review cadences across all directory platforms.
• Manage non-human identities: Govern service accounts, including managed identities, service principals, and app registrations, enforcing least privilege and credential hygiene across all environments.
• Advise development teams on identity security: Provide architectural guidance on token handling, session management, and federation patterns for teams building or maintaining identity adjacent systems.
• Drive Conditional Access and PIM: Lead Conditional Access policy design and own Privileged Identity Management configuration and the privileged access model for admin roles across Azure and M365.
• Support Entra External ID governance: Advise teams on External ID tenant configuration, custom policy, user flows, and external identity federation.
• Produce compliance-ready documentation: Maintain IAM documentation including access control matrices, provisioning runbooks, and audit-ready entitlement inventories supporting FCRA and FTC Safeguards Rule obligations.
• Collaborate across the security program: Align IAM initiatives with the broader security roadmap and participate in change management and architecture review processes alongside security engineers and the Cybersecurity Manager.
