About The Position

The Senior Director, Security Solutions — IAM is WWT’s most senior domain authority in Identity and Access Management, responsible for the strategy, growth, and delivery excellence of WWT’s IAM practice.

The Senior Director sets the practice’s strategic direction, owns the pipeline and revenue targets for the IAM service line, leads the most complex and high-stakes client engagements, and represents WWT at the intersection of identity security, enterprise risk, and digital transformation.

The ideal candidate is a recognized IAM practitioner and business builder, someone who has built or led a high-performing identity practice, grown a book of business at senior levels, and operates with equal authority in a board room, a vendor partner summit, or a complex delivery governance session. They bring platform depth across the full IAM stack (IGA, PAM, Access Management, CIEM, directory services) paired with the executive credibility, business development acumen, and leadership presence to build a market-leading practice.
