Identity & Access Specialist
We are seeking an Identity & Access Specialist to support the secure, reliable, and efficient management of digital identities across the organisation. In this role, you will administer and enhance identity and access management services, ensuring that employees, contractors, partners, and applications have appropriate access to the systems and information they need. You will work closely with technology, security, HR, and business teams to maintain strong access controls while providing a smooth user experience.
Your responsibilities will include managing user account lifecycle processes, role-based access controls, privileged access, group memberships, and authentication services. You will support joiner, mover, and leaver processes, investigate access issues, and ensure requests are approved and completed in line with established policies. The role will also involve configuring and maintaining identity platforms, supporting single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, reviewing access certifications, and helping to identify and remediate excessive or inappropriate permissions. You will contribute to incident response, audit preparation, compliance activities, and the development of clear operational documentation.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in identity and access management, user provisioning, access governance, and authentication technologies. Familiarity with directory services, cloud identity platforms, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, privileged access management, and automated provisioning protocols is highly desirable. Knowledge of security principles, least-privilege access, segregation of duties, and relevant data protection or information security standards will be beneficial. You should be analytical, organised, and confident working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, a service-focused approach, and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. Experience with scripting, workflow automation, or IT service management tools would be an advantage.
