Strategisch IAM Specialist
About the assignment
A leading organisation is building a modern identity management programme that supports digital transformation and regulatory compliance. You move beyond operational IAM tasks to define strategy, evaluate platforms, and align access governance with business objectives.
You'll tackle complex challenges: consolidating legacy systems, implementing zero-trust principles, and scaling JML (Joiner-Mover-Leaver) processes across global operations. Your recommendations directly influence security posture and user experience.
Your responsibilities
- Design enterprise IAM architecture aligned with security strategy and business goals
- Evaluate and select IAM platforms (SailPoint, CyberArk, Okta, Entra ID) based on organisational needs
- Develop access governance frameworks using RBAC/ABAC principles and regulatory requirements
- Lead IAM roadmap execution: modern authentication, privilege access management, identity analytics
- Advise leadership on identity risk, compliance implications, and vendor management
- Mentor junior IAM engineers and shape team technical direction
- Partner with GRC, cloud security, and business units on identity-linked initiatives
