Together with our 17 strong local retail brands in the United States, Europe and Indonesia, we make a meaningful difference in the lives of our brands’ customers, our people andthe world around us. We offer a highly dynamic, international work environment in which our associates thrive.

Your new work environment As

IGA Architect , you will join our

Enterprise Architecture / Cyber Security&IAM

Your work will directly support safe, efficient operations across a complex, international environment.

In this role, you will take ownership of

enterprise-wide Identity Governance&Administration (IGA)

architecture: from user provisioning and system integrations to

RBAC/ABAC , authentication and authorization frameworks, and access governance capabilities. You’ll help define the

IAM roadmap

aligned with business and security priorities, translate strategy into clear architecture documentation, and provide technical leadership to delivery teams. We’re looking for a pragmatic, outcome-driven architect who can balance speed and practicality with architectural rigor—delivering solutions that are secure, scalable, and sustainable.

Translate IT strategy into scalable

IGA/IAM governance , standards, processes, and target operating models; define and monitor policies, procedures and

KPIs .

Define and manage the

IGA target-state architecture and roadmap , aligned with Global IT and Enterprise Architecture; advise stakeholders on portfolio priorities and investment choices.

Provide architectural leadership across delivery: guide Product Owners, solution architects and engineers, and maintain core artifacts (e.g.,

PSA , reference architecture, high-level designs, IGA policies/standards).

Design and review IGA solutions end-to-end: turn requirements into blueprints, ensure license-efficient and vendor-aligned designs, and deliver

secure/compliant-by-design , scalable and future-proof outcomes.

Support delivery and operations as escalation point: resolve design issues and risks, drive remediation and stability improvements, support audits and major incidents (impact analysis/RCA), and rotate as

Manager on Duty (MoD)

quarterly.

What’s in it for you? Aside from what we ask of you in this role, we also have a great deal to offer you: plenty of growth opportunities and various cross-brand career options; flexible working hours; a hybrid working model (we ask you to spend at least 50% of your working time at the office); and the chance to drive meaningful change on a global scale.
