This is an exciting contract role, running until 31 March 2028, with a day rate of up to £700 (inside IR35).

- Engaging with stakeholders across security, engineering, and programme teams to ensure solutions meet coalition interoperability and federation objectives.
- Supporting the development of solutions incorporating Federated Identity & Access Management (FIAM), PKI, trust frameworks, and Data Centric Security.
- Conducting architecture assessments, technical risk reviews, and supporting interoperability validation activities, including FMN compliance demonstrations.
- Documenting technical solutions and leading governance activities to ensure architectural integrity throughout project phases.
