Senior Manager, Identity & Access Management

Role overview

Lead hands-on delivery for a global identity and access management programme, making access simpler for employees and engineers while maintaining strong governance and audit controls. You will turn strategy into implemented improvements, work closely with a UK-based global IAM leader across time zones, and later build and develop the US IAM engineering team.

Responsibilities - Configure and implement IAM improvements using identity platforms, APIs, scripting, and automation, delivering practical early solutions that can scale. - Improve identity lifecycle processes, access governance, and self-service to reduce user friction while preserving security controls. - Prioritise operational issues, make risk-informed decisions, and deliver against global IAM objectives. - Embed compliance into routine access workflows, including user access reviews, lifecycle controls, audit evidence, and remediation. - Advance role- and attribute-based access approaches and explore governance for non-human identities and AI agents. - After onboarding, manage and grow the US IAM engineering team and partner with global stakeholders.

Requirements - At least 8 years of IAM experience, including direct ownership of access reviews, identity lifecycle controls, audit evidence, and control remediation. - Hands-on experience configuring an IAM platform such as Okta, ConductorOne, Saviynt, SailPoint, or a comparable system. - Ability to use APIs, scripting, or automation to deliver working technical solutions. - Experience taking ambiguous IAM problems from assessment through design to implementation, balancing urgent risk reduction with scalable solutions. - Demonstrated technical team leadership and cross-functional influence, with the ability to set priorities and stay involved in engineering delivery. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, using data to identify gaps, improve processes, and assess security, compliance, and user experience.
