Cyber Security Analyst - Identity and Access Management
We are seeking a Cyber Security Analyst specialising in Identity and Access Management (IAM) to help protect critical systems, applications and data. In this role, you will support the design, implementation and continuous improvement of secure identity services across the organisation. You will work closely with technology, risk, compliance and business teams to ensure that access is appropriately granted, regularly reviewed and promptly removed when no longer required.
Your responsibilities will include administering and monitoring user accounts, privileged identities, authentication services, role-based access controls and access certification processes. You will investigate and resolve access-related incidents, identify unusual or unauthorised activity, and contribute to security investigations where identity data is relevant. You will help maintain IAM procedures, standards and technical documentation, while supporting joiner, mover and leaver processes and ensuring that controls align with internal policies and regulatory expectations. The role will also involve assisting with access reviews, segregation-of-duties checks, audit requests, control testing and the remediation of identified weaknesses. You may contribute to the automation of repetitive IAM activities and the integration of identity tools with cloud platforms, directories and business applications.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in cyber security, identity governance, access management or a closely related discipline. You should understand authentication methods, least-privilege principles, privileged access management, role-based access control and common identity threats. Familiarity with Active Directory, Entra ID or similar directory services, IAM platforms, Microsoft 365, cloud environments, SIEM tools and scripting languages such as PowerShell will be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and explain technical risks to non-technical stakeholders. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in cyber security, IAM, cloud security or information technology are desirable.
