Identity Platform Lead
We are seeking an Identity Platform Lead to provide strategic and technical leadership across the design, delivery, and ongoing development of enterprise identity and access management capabilities. You will own the platform vision and roadmap, ensuring identity services are secure, scalable, resilient, and aligned with business and technology priorities. The role will involve leading initiatives across workforce and customer identity, authentication, authorisation, privileged access, directory services, federation, and identity governance.
You will work closely with architecture, cybersecurity, infrastructure, engineering, risk, and business teams to define standards and deliver modern identity solutions. Responsibilities include overseeing platform architecture, managing integrations with applications and cloud services, improving joiner-mover-leaver processes, strengthening access controls, and supporting compliance with relevant security and privacy obligations. You will also establish service management practices, monitor platform performance, manage operational risks, and coordinate incident, problem, and change management activities. As a senior technical leader, you will guide delivery partners and internal teams, influence stakeholders, mentor engineers, and promote automation and continuous improvement across the identity landscape.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience leading identity and access management platforms in complex enterprise environments, together with a strong understanding of modern authentication and authorisation standards such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML. Experience with cloud identity services, directory technologies, privileged access management, identity governance, and API-based integrations is highly desirable. You will bring a track record of delivering secure, reliable platforms and managing technical roadmaps from strategy through to implementation. Strong communication, stakeholder management, analytical, and problem-solving skills are essential, as is the ability to balance security, user experience, operational resilience, and commercial considerations. Relevant professional certifications in cybersecurity, cloud, architecture, or identity management would be advantageous.
