About The Position

You will serve as the internal owner and technical authority for Digital Realty's SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC) platform, defining how identity governance operates at enterprise scale. This role leads the Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) strategy, architecture, and delivery, ensuring access lifecycle management, certifications, and compliance controls are designed and executed to meet global regulatory and operational requirements. As the enterprise lead for SailPoint ISC, you will drive the evolution of Digital Realty's identity governance program while partnering across Security, Infrastructure, Compliance, and Business teams. This is not an execution role—it is a program leadership position with direct accountability for how identity governance operates across a globally regulated enterprise.

Experience owning enterprise IGA architecture and delivering multi-year roadmap initiatives.

Experience operating identity governance programs within large-scale enterprise environments supporting 10,000+ identities.
DevOps mindset with hands-on experience implementing CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and configuration-as-code methodologies.
