About the assignment
A leading organisation is building out their IAM function and needs a hands-on manager to lead a team of 4-6 identity engineers. You own the full IAM roadmap: from SailPoint and Okta implementations to access governance and lifecycle management.
You balance strategic oversight with technical depth. You mentor your team through complex JML workflows, RBAC/ABAC design decisions, and enterprise integrations. You report to the CISO and own budget, resource planning, and vendor relationships.
Your impact: secure user lifecycle management across 5000+ employees, automated access reviews, and reduced manual provisioning overhead by 60%.
Your responsibilities
- Lead and mentor a team of 4-6 IAM engineers through design reviews, incident response, and professional development
- Own IAM platform roadmap: evaluate, implement, and manage SailPoint, Okta, Entra ID, or CyberArk solutions
- Design and execute identity governance workflows: JML lifecycle automation, RBAC/ABAC policies, access reviews
- Partner with security leadership to define IAM strategy, compliance requirements (ISO 27001, NIS2), and vendor management
- Drive incident response for identity-related breaches and access control violations
- Maintain platform uptime, performance tuning, and security hardening across IAM infrastructure
- Build business cases and manage IAM budget, tooling costs, and resource allocation
