Senior Identity & Access Management Specialist
We are seeking a Senior Identity & Access Management Specialist to lead the design, delivery and ongoing improvement of secure identity services across a complex technology environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced professional to shape access management practices, strengthen security controls and support the delivery of resilient, user-focused solutions.
You will be responsible for developing and maintaining identity and access management strategies, policies and standards. Working closely with security, infrastructure, applications and service teams, you will ensure that access is appropriately governed throughout the user and service lifecycle. You will provide technical leadership on identity platforms, authentication, authorisation, privileged access and directory services, while supporting the integration of cloud and on-premises environments.
Key duties will include analysing access requirements, designing role-based access models, improving joiner, mover and leaver processes, and overseeing access reviews and recertification activities. You will investigate and resolve complex incidents, contribute to risk assessments and audits, and ensure that solutions align with relevant security frameworks, data protection requirements and organisational policies. You will also produce clear technical documentation, monitor service performance and identify opportunities for automation and continuous improvement.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in identity and access management, with a strong understanding of authentication protocols, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, privileged access management and access governance. Experience with directory technologies, cloud identity services and role-based access control is essential. You should be comfortable working with scripting or automation tools and have a practical understanding of security principles, threat management and regulatory compliance.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are required, together with the ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You will be organised, analytical and confident making informed recommendations in a changing environment. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience would be advantageous.
