About the Role

The Digital Identity Delivery Lead is a key role within our Digital Identity Practice in the Cyber Technology Integration Services (CTIS) Service Line. This role is responsible for the successful delivery of complex IAM programs and solutions across diverse client environments, ensuring high-quality outcomes through structured delivery practices, technical oversight, and team leadership.

As the delivery lead, you will manage a team of identity specialists across a range of IAM disciplines (e.g. identity lifecycle, access management, governance, privileged access, authentication) and technologies (e.g. Ping Identity, SailPoint, Okta, CyberArk, Delinea, Microsoft). You will oversee the full project lifecycle from planning through to implementation and transition to support, while maintaining strong client engagement and alignment with strategic outcomes.

This role also plays a key part in practice development through mentoring team members, driving delivery excellence, and contributing to thought leadership across the identity community. The Delivery Lead may also support practice growth through pre-sales engagements, internal capability uplift, and industry representation.

As a Delivery Lead, you are accountable for:

  • Lead end-to-end delivery of IAM programs and projects across multiple clients and sectors
  • Manage project planning, resourcing, execution, and reporting across delivery teams
  • Coordinate cross-functional identity specialists across technologies such as Ping, SailPoint, Okta, CyberArk, Microsoft, and Delinea
  • Provide delivery oversight and quality assurance for design, implementation, testing, and handover activities
  • Act as a key client liaison, ensuring expectations are clearly defined, managed, and met
  • Contribute to solution planning and estimation activities during pre-sales and proposal development
  • Support practice growth by mentoring and developing junior team members
  • Champion consistent delivery methodologies, artefact quality, and technical excellence
  • Facilitate team collaboration and knowledge sharing across engagements
  • Represent the practice at industry events and support content development for marketing and capability uplift
  • Identify and address delivery risks, issues, and dependencies in a timely and proactive manner
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives across delivery practices and team capability
About You

To be successful in your role, you will demonstrate the following knowledge and experience:

  • Experience in IAM, security, or IT delivery roles, including team leadership
  • Demonstrated experience delivering digital identity solutions using platforms such as Ping Identity, SailPoint, Okta, CyberArk, Delinea, or Microsoft Identity platforms
  • Solid understanding of IAM domains including identity lifecycle, authentication, access management, governance, and privileged access
  • Proven experience managing complex technology projects and distributed delivery teams
  • Familiarity with project management practices (e.g. Agile, Scrum, or hybrid delivery methodologies)
  • Strong stakeholder management and client engagement skills across technical and executive levels
  • Experience mentoring and developing capability within technical teams
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Relevant certifications in identity platforms (e.g. SailPoint, Okta, Ping), cloud platforms, or project management (desirable)
  • Experience contributing to proposals, tenders, or pre-sales solution design (desirable)

It's easy to dismiss the perfect opportunity if you don't see yourself as the perfect fit. If this role feels right – no matter your background or personal circumstances – please introduce yourself or join our community. We're committed to supporting a diverse workplace, and that starts here.

We're proud to be endorsed by WORK180 as an Employer for All Women, but we know there's always more we can do. We'll continue to foster industry partnerships, employee resource groups (ERGs) and development opportunities to make Thales a genuinely equitable employer, for everyone.
