Identity & Access (IAM) Manager
We are seeking an experienced Identity & Access (IAM) Manager to lead the development, operation and continuous improvement of identity and access management capabilities. This is an opportunity to shape secure, efficient access practices across a complex technology environment while supporting business objectives and regulatory obligations.
You will be responsible for defining and delivering the IAM strategy, roadmap, policies and standards. Working closely with information security, infrastructure, applications, risk, compliance and business stakeholders, you will ensure that users have appropriate access to the systems and information they need, for as long as they need it, and no longer.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing joiner, mover and leaver processes; managing role-based access control and privileged access management; improving identity lifecycle automation; and ensuring effective access reviews, segregation of duties and approval workflows. You will monitor service performance, manage risks and incidents, oversee third-party partners where appropriate, and provide clear reporting on controls, compliance and key performance indicators.
You will also lead a team of IAM specialists and suppliers, setting objectives, supporting professional development and promoting a strong culture of security and service excellence. The role will involve evaluating IAM technologies, contributing to architecture and transformation programmes, and ensuring solutions are integrated effectively with directory services, cloud platforms, applications and security tooling.
Applicants should have substantial experience in identity and access management, including practical knowledge of access governance, privileged access, authentication, authorisation and identity lifecycle management. Experience leading teams, programmes or service improvements in a regulated or complex environment is highly desirable. You will be comfortable working with technologies such as Active Directory, Entra ID or equivalent cloud identity platforms, and ideally IAM or governance tools.
Strong communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills are essential, alongside the ability to translate technical and regulatory requirements into practical controls. Relevant professional qualifications in information security, risk, audit or IAM would be advantageous. A proactive, collaborative approach and a commitment to continual improvement are key to success in this role.
