IGA Lead Engineer
We are seeking an experienced IGA Lead Engineer to design, deliver and support robust identity governance and administration capabilities across a complex technology environment. This is a hands-on technical leadership role, responsible for improving how identities, access rights and privileged permissions are managed throughout the employee, contractor and third-party lifecycle.
You will lead the engineering and ongoing development of IGA solutions, including joiner, mover and leaver processes, access requests, approvals, role management, access reviews, segregation of duties and automated provisioning. Working closely with security, infrastructure, application and compliance teams, you will translate business and regulatory requirements into scalable technical solutions. You will also provide technical guidance to engineers, help set delivery standards and contribute to the wider identity and access management roadmap.
Key responsibilities include integrating applications and directories with IGA platforms, developing and maintaining workflows, connectors, policies and reporting, and investigating issues affecting access or identity data. You will support the implementation of effective controls, ensure accurate audit trails and help identify opportunities to increase automation, improve user experience and reduce operational risk. The role will also involve contributing to architectural decisions, technical documentation, testing, release management and continuous service improvement.
Applicants should have substantial experience in identity governance, IAM engineering or a closely related discipline, with a strong understanding of access lifecycle management and identity security principles. Experience with leading IGA platforms, directory services, single sign-on, privileged access management and application integrations is highly desirable. You should be comfortable with scripting or software development, API integrations, troubleshooting and working with databases. Knowledge of cloud identity services, role-based access control, audit requirements and security frameworks would be advantageous.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to explain complex technical matters clearly. You will be organised, analytical and proactive, with a strong focus on quality, security and continual improvement. Relevant professional qualifications in cybersecurity, identity management or an associated technical field are welcomed.
