Principal Identity and Access Management Consultant
We are seeking a Principal Identity and Access Management Consultant to provide strategic leadership and technical expertise across identity, access, and security initiatives. You will work with senior stakeholders, technology teams, and business representatives to define and deliver robust identity strategies that support secure, efficient, and compliant access to systems, applications, data, and services. This is a senior advisory role requiring strong consulting skills, sound technical judgement, and the ability to translate complex requirements into practical solutions.
Key responsibilities will include developing IAM roadmaps, target operating models, policies, standards, and architecture principles; assessing current capabilities and identifying opportunities for improvement; and leading the design of solutions covering identity governance, access management, privileged access, authentication, authorisation, federation, and lifecycle management. You will provide subject matter expertise on modern IAM technologies and approaches, including role-based and attribute-based access control, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, identity lifecycle automation, and zero-trust principles. You will also support programme delivery, contribute to risk and compliance activities, review technical designs, and ensure that solutions align with security, regulatory, and business objectives.
The successful candidate will bring extensive experience in identity and access management consultancy, architecture, or transformation roles, together with a strong understanding of enterprise security frameworks, governance, and control environments. Experience delivering IAM strategies and complex implementations across large, distributed environments is essential. You should be confident engaging with executives and technical specialists, facilitating workshops, challenging assumptions, and producing clear documentation and recommendations. Relevant professional certifications in security, architecture, audit, or identity management are desirable. Strong analytical, communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills are required, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and influence outcomes without direct authority.
