Senior IAM Architect

We are seeking an Senior Identity and Access Management Architect / Senior IAM Architect to lead the design and evolution of our enterprise identity strategy. You will define how identities are securely managed, authenticated, and authorised across all environments—enabling a scalable, Zero Trust-aligned approach that protects the business while delivering a frictionless user experience. This is a high-impact role at the centre of our security and digital transformation journey.

JOB DUTIES:

• Own the enterprise IAM architecture strategy, target state, and roadmap across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, aligned to Zero Trust and security standards. 
• Serve as the IAM technical authority and provide hands-on architectural leadership across infrastructure, cloud, and platform security initiatives. 
• Design and document end-to-end IAM capabilities across IGA, access management, PAM, secrets, and non-human identities. 
• Define integration patterns and reference architectures; evaluate build vs. buy and emerging IAM capabilities (e.g., passwordless, AI/agentic identities, decentralised identity) to deliver scalable services across applications, infrastructure, and DevOps tooling. 
• Architect authentication and authorisation (SSO, MFA, RBAC/ABAC) and standardize protocols (OAuth2/OIDC, SAML, SCIM, LDAP). 
• Lead IAM platform design and integration across cloud/hybrid (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, SailPoint, PingFederate/Ping Identity, AWS IAM, CyberArk or equivalent). 
• Define identity lifecycle controls (joiner/mover/leaver, provisioning, access certifications, and role/entitlement modeling). 
• Identify IAM risks and architecture gaps; define constraints and mitigations, and drive remediation through roadmap and delivery items. 
• Ensure IAM controls and integrations meet security and regulatory requirements (e.g., NIST SP 800-63, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR) and support audit activities. 
• Partner with business stakeholders to align IAM outcomes to enterprise objectives and communicate decisions and tradeoffs to senior leadership. 

YOU MUST HAVE:

• Strong experience in the identity and access management, preferably at architecture level, however IAM Engineers seeking opportunities to advance to an architecture role will be considered 
• Strong experience across core IAM domains: IGA (lifecycle, certifications), access management (SSO/MFA), Conditional Access, PAM, and non-human identity (workload/service identities), with hands-on-experience with one or more enterprise IAM platforms (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID/Azure AD, Okta, Ping, SailPoint) and integration across cloud/hybrid environments. 
• Deep knowledge of authentication/authorisation patterns and protocols: OAuth 2.0/OIDC, SAML 2.0, SCIM, and LDAP/AD. 
• Solid understanding of cloud IAM (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP), including identity federation and least-privilege design. 
• Experience assessing IAM risks and security controls, defining mitigations, and supporting audits and compliance requirements (e.g., NIST/ISO). 

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders effectively

• Collaborative team player who adapts quickly to changing priorities while maintaining attention to detail

WE VALUE:

• Proven ability to define IAM target state, reference architectures, standards, and multi-phase roadmaps aligned to Zero Trust. 
• Experience with secrets management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault). 
• Knowledge of DevSecOps practices and integrating IAM controls into CI/CD pipelines. 
• Exposure to machine/workload identity federation (e.g., SPIFFE/SPIRE) and modern approaches to non-human identity. 

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:

• Funding provided to support your self-development 
• Fully remote working model
• Meal ticket for each day worked
• Medical coverage to support your health and wellbeing
• 26 days of vacation
