IAM Governance Specialist
We are seeking an IAM Governance Specialist to support the effective management, oversight and continuous improvement of identity and access management practices. This role will help ensure that access to systems, applications and data is appropriate, well controlled and aligned with security, regulatory and business requirements. You will work closely with technology, cybersecurity, risk, compliance and business stakeholders to promote consistent governance across the organisation’s identity environment.
Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining IAM policies, standards, procedures and control frameworks; coordinating periodic access reviews, user access recertifications and privileged access assessments; monitoring compliance with joiner, mover and leaver processes; and identifying opportunities to improve access lifecycle management. You will support the collection of audit evidence, respond to internal and external audit requests, track remediation actions and prepare clear governance reports for senior stakeholders. The role will also involve reviewing access-related risks, maintaining accurate documentation, supporting segregation-of-duties controls and contributing to the assessment of new applications, technologies and third-party services.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in identity and access management, security governance, IT risk, compliance or a related discipline. You should understand access control principles, least privilege, role-based access, privileged account management and identity lifecycle processes. Experience with IAM or governance, risk and compliance tools, access certification platforms and service management systems would be beneficial. Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to interpret policies and controls, manage multiple priorities and influence stakeholders at different levels. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in information security, audit, risk or IT service management are desirable. This is an opportunity to contribute to a mature and continually evolving security framework while helping protect critical systems and information.
