We are seeking an experienced Identity Practice Lead to provide strategic direction, technical leadership and operational oversight across identity and access management (IAM) capabilities. This role will lead the development of a mature identity practice, ensuring that access to systems, applications and data is secure, appropriate and aligned with business and regulatory requirements. You will work closely with technology, security, risk, compliance and business stakeholders to shape the identity roadmap and deliver measurable improvements in control, efficiency and user experience.
Key responsibilities will include defining and maintaining the IAM strategy, architecture, standards and operating model; leading the implementation and continuous improvement of identity governance, access management, privileged access management and authentication services; and overseeing the design of effective joiner, mover and leaver processes. You will establish appropriate policies, controls and performance measures, support audit and regulatory activities, and identify opportunities to automate manual processes and strengthen security. The role will also provide expert guidance on emerging identity technologies, contribute to solution design and ensure that IAM services are resilient, scalable and well integrated with wider technology platforms.
You will lead and develop a team of identity specialists, managing priorities, capability development, delivery quality and stakeholder engagement. The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in identity and access management within a complex enterprise environment, together with a strong understanding of identity governance, role-based access control, authentication protocols, directory services and privileged access solutions. Experience delivering transformation programmes, managing third-party suppliers and operating within risk-controlled environments is highly desirable. You will be a confident communicator and influential leader, able to translate technical concepts into clear business outcomes, challenge constructively and build effective relationships at all levels. Relevant professional certifications in information security, IAM, architecture or risk management would be advantageous.
