Identity and Access Management Lead
We are seeking an experienced Identity and Access Management Lead to define and deliver a secure, scalable IAM strategy across a complex technology environment. This role will provide technical leadership for identity governance, access management, authentication, privileged access, and directory services, ensuring that users have appropriate access at the right time while maintaining strong security and regulatory controls.
You will lead the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of IAM solutions, including joiner, mover, and leaver processes, role-based access control, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, privileged access management, and access certification. Working closely with information security, infrastructure, applications, compliance, and business stakeholders, you will establish standards, policies, and operating procedures that support effective identity lifecycle management. You will also oversee integrations between IAM platforms and key business applications, investigate access-related incidents, identify control weaknesses, and drive remediation activity. The role will involve mentoring technical specialists, managing delivery partners where required, and contributing to roadmaps, budgets, risk assessments, and audit responses.
Applicants should have substantial experience leading IAM programmes or services within a large, complex, or highly regulated environment. You will bring strong knowledge of identity governance, authentication protocols, directory technologies, access control models, and security best practice, together with hands-on experience of implementing or managing enterprise IAM platforms. Experience with cloud identity services, automation, scripting, API integrations, and privileged access solutions would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications in information security, identity management, or cloud technologies are desirable. You should be an effective communicator, able to translate technical risks into practical business outcomes, influence senior stakeholders, manage competing priorities, and deliver reliable solutions in line with security, compliance, and operational requirements.
