Hands-on familiarity with identity capabilities (registration, login, MFA, passkeys, account recovery, proofing, fraud controls, federation, SSO, delegated access).
Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives and influence senior stakeholders in a highly matrixed organization without direct authority, translating business, security, and technical needs into measurable outcomes.

Nice To Haves

Experience in healthcare, pharmacy, benefits, or regulated ecosystems where identity, consent, privacy, and access governance are critical.
Familiarity with modern federation, OAuth/OIDC, SAML, token security, identity orchestration, adaptive authentication, or passwordless/passkey capabilities.
Exposure to AI-agent governance, delegated authority, and lifecycle/traceability concepts, and to caregiver/proxy/authorized-representative access models.
Experience partnering with personalization, customer-data, or content platforms to deliver reusable, shared-service capabilities.

Responsibilities

Advise senior leadership on identity platform strategy and modernization priorities.
Develop and recommend the identity roadmap and capability prioritization across authentication, access, registration, identity proofing, trusted devices, fraud posture, and delegation.
Shape funding proposals, prioritization recommendations, and executive reporting that inform enterprise investment decisions.
Evaluate platform gaps, technology trends, and emerging threats to help evolve the identity investment portfolio.
Advance and advise on adoption of modern authentication and trusted access—passkeys, adaptive MFA, alternate MFA, and streamlined account recovery.
Shape fraud prevention and identity proofing strategy, reducing reliance on passwords and SMS OTP while improving login success and reducing support demand.
Partner with the Personalization technology stack, Customer 360/profile, analytics, and enablement teams so identity signals are reusable and support personalized, governed experiences.
Collaborate with architecture, engineering, security, and digital product teams to keep solutions scalable, resilient, and aligned to enterprise standards; support ongoing federation and SSO modernization and scalable access governance.
Develop identity strategy recommendations for AI-agent access, agent identity, human-to-agent delegation, credentialing, and human approval workflows.
Define requirements for digital delegation and caregiver use cases (proxy, authorized representatives, minor age-out, family access) as reusable services.
Lead pilots, value-proposition development, and measurement of success for identity capabilities supporting future-state care, pharmacy, and agentic engagement—surfacing governance, consent, and policy decisions that require leadership alignment.
Lead highly visible, cross-functional identity initiatives spanning business, technology, security, architecture, and digital product teams.
Influence stakeholders at all levels to drive alignment, prioritization, and adoption.
Serve as a trusted advisor and identity subject matter expert to business stakeholders, platform consumers, architecture partners, and senior leadership.
Translate complex business, security, and technical needs into clear product strategies, roadmap recommendations, and executive narratives.
