Senior Integration Solution Architect (ASI)

Mandate Overview:

• The program is looking for an integration architect who will own the migration of Wealth Management authentication to Auth0/SAMD, from target architecture definition through supporting development teams during implementation. The role is cross-functional: it aligns GP solutions with corporate identity management foundations and coordinates the Conquest, Mako, Hybrid Offer and Unique Identifier projects. Deliverables are concrete and documented: architecture decision records, impact analyses, integration mapping, client migration and decommissioning strategies. The advisory role with delivery, security and enterprise architecture teams carries as much weight as technical design. The experience threshold differs between the title received (8+ years) and the mandate description (10+ years), a point submitted to the client.
  
  


• Target candidate: a solution or integration architect who has already led the modernization or migration of an authentication platform (Auth0 or another identity federation solution) across multiple applications, with OAuth 2.0, OIDC and SAML 2.0 mastered at design level. They produce the architecture documents and migration strategies themselves, and can bring business, security, development and operations teams to alignment.

Profiles to Exclude:

• Solution architect profile whose IAM experience is limited to consuming an existing SSO, with no authentication platform modernization or migration project.
  
  


• IAM administrator or operator profile (provisioning, account management, console configuration) with no demonstrated target architecture design responsibility.
  
  


• Security architect profile focused on compliance, governance or risk management, with no application integration deliverable.
  
  


• Developer or tech lead profile who integrated OAuth or OIDC into a single application, with no architecture mandate spanning multiple applications or client bases.
  
  


• Enterprise architect profile focused on mapping and strategy, with no solution architecture document produced for an implementation.
  
  


• Profile with no demonstrated legacy-to-modern architecture migration project.
