Identity Analyst
We are seeking an Identity Analyst to support the secure and efficient management of digital identities, access rights and authentication services across the organisation. In this role, you will help ensure that employees, contractors, partners and systems have appropriate access to the resources they need, while maintaining strong controls that protect sensitive information. You will work closely with technology, security, compliance and business teams to investigate access-related issues and improve identity management processes.
Your responsibilities will include administering and monitoring user accounts, roles, groups and entitlements; processing joiner, mover and leaver requests; reviewing access approvals; and supporting periodic access certification campaigns. You will analyse identity and access data to identify anomalies, excessive permissions, dormant accounts and potential policy breaches, escalating concerns where appropriate. The role will also involve investigating authentication and authorisation incidents, maintaining accurate records, contributing to audit activities and preparing clear reports and management information. You may assist with the implementation and ongoing support of identity governance, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and privileged access management solutions.
The successful candidate will have experience in identity and access management, information security, IT operations or a related analytical role. You should understand access control principles, least-privilege practices, authentication methods and common identity lifecycle processes. Familiarity with directory services, ticketing platforms, identity governance tools, cloud environments and reporting or data analysis techniques would be advantageous. Strong attention to detail, sound judgement and the ability to handle confidential information are essential. You will be comfortable analysing problems, communicating with stakeholders at different levels and managing competing priorities in a structured way. Relevant industry certifications or qualifications in cybersecurity, information technology or risk management are desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered.
