Identity Governance Platform Owner
We are seeking an Identity Governance Platform Owner to lead the strategic direction, operational performance and continual improvement of an enterprise identity governance platform. This is a key role responsible for ensuring that identity, access and compliance capabilities support business priorities while meeting security, regulatory and audit requirements.
You will own the platform roadmap, translate business and security needs into prioritised improvements, and work closely with technology, risk, compliance and service management teams. You will oversee platform configuration, integrations, upgrades and service performance, ensuring that changes are delivered in a controlled and sustainable manner. You will also establish effective governance for access requests, approvals, certifications, segregation of duties and joiner, mover and leaver processes.
Key responsibilities will include managing the relationship with platform suppliers and delivery partners, monitoring service levels and resolving escalated issues. You will define and maintain operating procedures, technical standards and control frameworks, while ensuring that platform documentation and reporting remain accurate and up to date. You will use performance data, user feedback and audit findings to identify opportunities for automation, simplification and improved user experience.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience managing an identity governance, identity and access management, or privileged access platform within a complex organisation. You will understand access lifecycle management, role-based access control, access recertification, segregation of duties and identity-related regulatory controls. Experience with enterprise platforms such as SailPoint, Saviynt, Microsoft Entra ID Governance or equivalent technologies would be advantageous.
You will be an effective communicator, able to influence stakeholders at all levels and explain technical matters clearly to non-technical audiences. Strong organisational, analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, together with experience of delivering technology change, managing suppliers and working within structured governance and risk frameworks. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications in information security, identity management, IT service management or project delivery would be desirable.
