IAM Governance Lead
We are seeking an experienced IAM Governance Lead to establish and strengthen the governance framework for identity and access management across a complex technology environment. In this role, you will define policies, standards and control processes that support secure, compliant and efficient access to systems, applications and data. You will work closely with cybersecurity, technology, risk, audit and business stakeholders to ensure that access is appropriately governed throughout the identity lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include overseeing joiner, mover and leaver processes; developing access review and certification programmes; maintaining role-based access control principles; and supporting the implementation of least-privilege and segregation-of-duties controls. You will monitor governance metrics, identify control weaknesses, coordinate remediation activities and prepare clear reporting for senior stakeholders and governance forums. The role will also involve contributing to IAM risk assessments, policy updates, audit responses and the continuous improvement of processes, tooling and operating models. You will help ensure that IAM practices align with relevant regulatory obligations, industry standards and internal security requirements.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in IAM governance, access management, information security or a related discipline, ideally within a large or regulated environment. You will have a strong understanding of identity lifecycle management, privileged access, access certifications, role design, segregation of duties and control testing. Experience with IAM platforms, governance tools, workflow automation and reporting solutions is highly desirable. Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to influence across technical and non-technical teams. Relevant professional qualifications in information security, risk, audit or identity management would be advantageous. This is an opportunity to shape a mature, risk-based IAM governance capability and drive meaningful improvements in security, compliance and operational effectiveness.
