Identity & Access Specialist
We are seeking an Identity & Access Specialist to support the secure and efficient management of user identities, access rights and authentication services across a complex technology environment. You will play a key role in ensuring that employees, contractors and other authorised users have appropriate access to systems and information, while maintaining strong security controls and compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
Your responsibilities will include administering and maintaining identity and access management platforms, user directories, single sign-on solutions, multi-factor authentication and privileged access controls. You will manage joiner, mover and leaver processes, review access requests, investigate access-related incidents and support regular access recertification campaigns. The role will also involve analysing and resolving issues, monitoring system activity, identifying potential risks and contributing to the continuous improvement of identity governance processes. You will work closely with service desk, infrastructure, cybersecurity, applications and business teams to deliver reliable and user-focused access services. You may also assist with audits, documentation, reporting, control testing and the implementation of new IAM capabilities.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in identity and access management, systems administration, cybersecurity or a closely related area. You should understand authentication methods, role-based access control, least-privilege principles, directory services and common IAM lifecycle processes. Experience with platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta, SailPoint, CyberArk or comparable technologies would be advantageous. Familiarity with scripting, workflow automation, IT service management practices and security frameworks is also desirable. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will be organised, detail-oriented and committed to protecting sensitive information while delivering responsive, high-quality support.
