Identity Security Tech Lead

A financial services company is looking for an Identity Security Tech Lead to join their team in Denver, CO. We are looking for a seasoned Identity Security Technical Lead to help shape and advance our enterprise identity and access management capabilities. This individual will play a key role in defining technical standards, guiding solution design, and driving modernization efforts across identity lifecycle and access governance.

You will join a collaborative IAM team where execution responsibilities are shared; however, this role provides the technical leadership needed to bring cohesion, consistency, and long-term direction—particularly in the areas of identity lifecycle automation and access certification optimization.
This position is ideal for someone who combines hands-on technical depth with strong architectural judgment and can clearly explain complex IAM concepts to a broad range of stakeholders.

Some of your responsibilities include:
-Set technical direction for IAM solutions spanning identity governance, authentication, authorization, and privileged access platforms.
-Define and promote reusable design patterns, implementation standards, and architectural principles aligned with Zero Trust and least-privilege strategies.
-Review and guide solution designs to ensure scalability, maintainability, and alignment with long-term objectives.
-Act as a senior technical advisor for complex identity-related challenges and decisions.

This is a one-year contract position with the possibility of extension or conversion. It requires being onsite five days for the first month and then three days a week after that in Denver, CO.

Compensation:
$60/hr to $66/hr.

Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.

Employees in this role will enjoy a comprehensive benefits package starting on day one of employment, including options for medical, dental, and vision insurance. Eligibility to enroll in the 401(k) retirement plan begins after 90 days of employment. Additionally, employees in this role will have access to paid sick leave and other paid time off benefits as required under the applicable law of the worksite location.
