Aramark is modernizing its enterprise identity environment to support scalable, secure access across workforce, non-human, and emerging automation use cases.
We are looking for an Identity Architect who can simplify complex identity challenges, define practical governance and authorization patterns, and help shape the future direction of enterprise identity capabilities.
This role is a senior individual contributor position that partners across architecture, engineering, operations, and security teams to guide identity strategy, federation design, access models, and modernization efforts in a large-scale enterprise environment.

? Shape identity governance architecture and support modernization efforts across lifecycle management and enterprise access capabilities.
? Establish governance patterns for non-human identities, including service accounts, APIs, and automation workflows.
? Lead the architectural direction for enterprise federation and access patterns across PingFederate, PingAccess, Entra ID, and related identity platforms.
? Define scalable SSO, federation, trust, and access design patterns for application onboarding and modernization efforts.
Program Leadership
