Senior Director, Identity & Access Management
We are seeking a Senior Director, Identity & Access Management to lead the strategy, governance, and delivery of a comprehensive identity security programme across a complex, global environment. This senior leadership role will define the vision for identity and access management (IAM), strengthen controls, and ensure that secure, reliable access to systems and data supports business priorities. You will lead a multidisciplinary team spanning identity governance, privileged access management, authentication, directory services, access operations, and related security capabilities.
You will establish and maintain the IAM roadmap, operating model, policies, standards, and performance measures, ensuring alignment with enterprise security objectives and regulatory requirements. Responsibilities include overseeing identity lifecycle management, role-based and attribute-based access controls, access certifications, segregation of duties, privileged access, single sign-on, and modern authentication solutions. You will guide the adoption of zero-trust principles, improve automation and integration with cloud and on-premises platforms, and ensure effective monitoring, reporting, and response to identity-related risks. The role will also oversee service delivery, vendor relationships, budgets, audit readiness, and continuous improvement initiatives.
The successful candidate will be an experienced IAM and cybersecurity leader with a strong record of developing teams, influencing senior stakeholders, and delivering transformation at scale. You will bring deep knowledge of identity governance, access technologies, cloud security, directory platforms, authentication protocols, and relevant risk and compliance frameworks. Excellent communication, strategic thinking, commercial judgement, and the ability to translate technical risks into clear business decisions are essential. Relevant professional certifications in cybersecurity, audit, risk, or identity management are advantageous, as is experience operating in highly regulated or geographically distributed environments.
