Vice President, Identity and Access Management
We are seeking an accomplished Vice President, Identity and Access Management to lead the strategy, transformation and operation of a modern, enterprise-wide IAM function. This senior leadership role will be responsible for protecting critical systems, data and applications while enabling secure, efficient access for employees, customers, partners and other authorised users. You will define a clear IAM vision aligned with business objectives, security priorities and regulatory expectations, and translate that vision into a practical, scalable roadmap.
The successful candidate will oversee identity governance, access management, privileged access, authentication, authorisation, directory services, joiner-mover-leaver processes and identity threat detection. You will establish robust standards, policies, controls and operating models, while driving adoption of modern capabilities such as zero trust, adaptive authentication, passwordless access, automated provisioning and identity analytics. Responsibilities will include leading risk assessments, improving control effectiveness, managing audit and regulatory requirements, and ensuring timely remediation of vulnerabilities and access-related issues. You will also manage strategic technology partners, budgets, service performance and major transformation programmes.
You will be an influential leader who can build high-performing, inclusive teams and collaborate effectively with technology, cybersecurity, privacy, legal, risk, human resources and business stakeholders. The role requires substantial experience leading IAM or cybersecurity functions in complex, highly regulated environments, along with a strong understanding of identity standards, access control frameworks, cloud platforms and emerging security practices. Experience delivering enterprise-scale change, communicating with executive audiences and balancing strong security with an excellent user experience is essential. Relevant professional qualifications in information security, technology or risk management are desirable. A strategic mindset, sound judgement, commercial awareness and the ability to turn complex challenges into clear, actionable outcomes will be key to success.
