Architect, Privileged Access Management

At Danaher, the Architect, Privileged Access Management designs the enterprise PAM architecture across all regions. Global PAM strategy and direction are set by security leadership and IT leadership; the Architect shapes and refines the technical architecture, then owns translating it into adoptable reference designs for privileged human and non-human identities. The architect works independently and integrates with IAM, infrastructure, cloud, and DevOps teams that each own their own architecture and constraints. 

This position reports to Director, Identity Security & Privileged Access Management and is part of the enterprise-wide Danaher Information Security (DIS) team; this is a remote associate role. 

In this role, you will have the opportunity to: 

• Architect enterprise PAM target-state: privileged account discovery, vaulted credential management, session isolation/recording, JIT access, break-glass, endpoint privilege management, and machine/service-account controls. 

• Integrate PAM architecture with IdP, IGA, SIEM, ITSM, CMDB, cloud platforms, and DevOps pipelines. 

• Engineer/prototype reference implementations and policy-as-code patterns to prove designs before regional teams scale them. 

• Design the sustainability & governance model: control design, exception governance, ownership, and architecture review cadence. 

The essential requirements of the job include: 

• Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field. 

• 9+ years of cybersecurity experience with a focus on identity and access or privileged access management (GCRF P4 Bachelor's-track minimum; recommended, pending Comp sign-off). 

• Experience designing privileged access management architecture — including discovery, vaulting, session management, just-in-time access, endpoint privilege management, and machine/service-account controls. 

• Hands-on experience with enterprise PAM platforms (such as CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Delinea) and integrating them with identity, cloud, ITSM, and SIEM systems. 

• Experience working independently with IAM, infrastructure, cloud, and DevOps teams to design and govern privileged-access controls and exceptions. 

It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in: 

• Experience with non-human identity / secrets management and policy-as-code. 

• CISSP, CCSP, CISM, or a relevant PAM platform certification.
