Identity & Access (IAM) Specialist
We are seeking an Identity & Access (IAM) Specialist to support the secure and efficient management of digital identities, user access and authentication services across a complex technology environment. This role will help protect critical systems and information by ensuring that access is appropriately granted, regularly reviewed and promptly removed when no longer required.
You will be responsible for administering and improving IAM processes, including joiner, mover and leaver activity, access requests, approvals, entitlement reviews and privileged access management. Working closely with technology, security, HR and business teams, you will investigate access-related issues, resolve incidents and ensure that controls are applied consistently across applications, infrastructure and cloud platforms.
The role will also involve supporting the implementation and maintenance of single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, role-based access control and identity governance solutions. You will contribute to the development of access models, automate repetitive processes where possible, maintain accurate documentation and produce reports to demonstrate compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
The successful candidate will have practical experience in an IAM, security operations or systems administration role, with a good understanding of identity lifecycle management, authentication protocols and access control principles. Experience with platforms such as Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, SailPoint, CyberArk, Okta or similar technologies would be advantageous. Familiarity with SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect, LDAP and PowerShell or another scripting language is also desirable.
You should be analytical, well organised and confident working with stakeholders at different levels. The ability to assess risk, communicate clearly and manage competing priorities is essential. You will need to demonstrate strong attention to detail, a commitment to information security and a proactive approach to identifying opportunities for improvement. Relevant professional qualifications in cyber security, identity management or information technology would be beneficial.
