Job Description On behalf of our Healthcare Client, Affinity Healthcare Solutions is looking for an IAM Lead with significant clinical setting experience to support identity and clinical role readiness work for the provincial CIS initiative. The role will focus on understanding the current IAM environment, identifying gaps that could affect CIS adoption, and planning and executing the changes needed to ensure a secure and reliable access model for go-live and beyond.

Responsibilities

• Current-State Review: Document existing identity sources, authentication models, access workflows, and role structures across partner organizations.
• Gap Identification: Assess where current IAM processes, technologies, and governance may not meet CIS requirements.
• Planning & Road mapping: Develop clear plans to address gaps, sequencing work across project, vendor, and internal teams.
• Facilitation & Alignment: Bring together clinical, technical, operational, and security stakeholders to confirm decisions, align expectations, and resolve issues.
• Role & Access Model Oversight: Support the development of the CIS role and access framework, ensuring it aligns with IAM standards, clinical workflow needs, and organizational policies.
• Integration Coordination: Ensure that IAM-related integrations (e.g., with directory services, HR systems, identity sources, provisioning processes) are understood, validated, and on track.
• Change Support: Prepare partner teams for new or updated IAM processes, including onboarding, access request workflows, and support models.
• Issue Resolution & Evaluation: Track progress, monitor risks related to IAM readiness, and help troubleshoot issues that may impact CIS deployment.

Qualifications Mandatory Requirements

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business Administration, Health Informatics, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 3+ years leading the design and implementation of RBAC for major Clinical Information Systems in acute‑care or hospital environments, including defining, configuring, and governing roles and access for physicians and clinical users.
• 5+ years leading or coordinating IAM‑related work in large healthcare organizations, including assessing current‑state IAM capabilities, identifying gaps, and planning activities for major system implementations.
• 5+ years leading project teams or workstreams with responsibility for timelines, deliverables, staffing, risk management, and status reporting.
• 5+ years working with enterprise IAM or IGA specialists—including directory services, identity lifecycle, authentication, and access governance—to align project needs with organizational IAM capabilities.

Scored Requirements

• 3+ years working directly with clinicians, clinical informatics teams, and operational staff to understand workflows and identify access, identity, or authentication needs that could impact system adoption.
• 5+ years supporting or coordinating the integration of clinical or enterprise systems with IAM/IGA components such as directory services, MFA/SSO, identity lifecycle tools, or access governance processes.
• 3+ years working with cloud‑based IAM platforms (e.g., Entra ID, Okta, Ping) and understanding how cloud IAM interacts with on‑prem systems and clinical applications.
• 3+ years applying healthcare privacy, cybersecurity, or access auditing requirements to identity and access decisions in clinical environments.
• 3+ years developing, implementing, or coordinating IAM governance or operational processes such as identity lifecycle management, access request workflows, access reviews, or role governance.
