Whole Foods Market attracts people who are passionate — about great food, about the communities they live and work in, about how we treat our planet and our fellow humans — and who want to bring their passion into the workplace and make a difference. The Whole Foods Market Tech Team is looking for a passionate and innovative IAM Manager to join our recently formed Identity and Access Management Engineering team to bring their expertise and passion for technology to drive innovation and support Whole Food’s strategic vision.

Everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats, and work in a highly collaborative environment. Ideal candidates will think big and have a strong bias for action, while earning trust through their desire to learn and be curious, invent and simplify, dive deep, insist on highest standards and work back from the customer. Given the complexity of each launch, it will also be important to be operationally strong – managing many relationships, dependencies, and timelines across critical initiatives.

As a leader you will hire the best engineering talent and bring them together as a team to innovate and deliver. You will define and build secure, reliable, scalable, fast, cost-effective, and easy-to-use products. You’ll help set – and will be expected to deliver on – aggressive goals for adoption, operational performance, and feature delivery. Your ability to effectively engage and influence senior-level stakeholders within and outside the immediate organization will be crucial for success in this role.
