Overview In this IAM Architect role, you will shape Skechers' global identity architecture spanning workforce, customer, privileged, and non-human identities. You'll translate security and business needs into resilient identity solutions and own end-to-end design, integration, and troubleshooting across cloud and on-prem environments. You'll lead design reviews, implement proofs of concept, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to enforce identity governance and zero-trust controls. Your work directly reduces identity risk and supports secure, scalable access for employees, partners, and customers. This is an opportunity to influence security architecture at a global, multi-cloud scale within a
