Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
The Identity and Access Management Solutions Architect designs, builds, and owns the architecture for identity and access management across the organization, covering both human identities and non-human identities.

Applied experience in deploying non-human identities is required.

- Define and enforce identity governance standards, including access reviews, privileged access management, and least-privilege models
- Architect, build, and operate identity lifecycle processes: provisioning, de-provisioning, and role-based or attribute-based access control
- Partner with engineering, security, and infrastructure teams to build and embed identity-first design into new systems and integrations
- Evaluate, select, and implement IAM tooling, and lead migrations or consolidations between identity platforms
- Establish and operate monitoring, auditing, and incident response practices specific to identity and access risk
- Serve as the subject-matter expert on IAM for audits, compliance reviews, and security assessments

- Deep, hands-on architecture experience with Okta and Auth0, including custom policies, connectors, and API-driven configuration

- Experience with privileged access management, secrets management, and workload identity frameworks
- Working knowledge of zero-trust architecture principles as applied to identity
