IDAM Analyst

IDAM Analyst – Hybrid (Manchester) – Up to £51,000

We are looking for an IDAM Analyst to play a crucial role in building and operating a new centralised Identity and Access Management (IDAM) solution. While architects and engineers will handle the technical aspects, this role requires a strong technical understanding of IDAM and the ability to act as a stakeholder (‘customer’) for the project’s delivery.

You’ll work closely with security, IT, and engineering teams to ensure the IDAM platform meets business, security, and compliance requirements. If you have hands-on IDAM expertise combined with governance and stakeholder management experience, this is a great opportunity to influence identity security at scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Act as the key stakeholder (‘customer’) for the new IDAM solution, ensuring it aligns with security, compliance, and business needs.
• Oversee identity governance, including Joiners, Movers, Leavers (JML) processes, role-based access control (RBAC), and privileged access management (PAM).
• Ensure authentication methods such as SSO, MFA, and identity federation are properly integrated and managed.
• Work with architects and engineers to support the implementation, optimisation, and operation of the IDAM platform.
• Define and enhance identity governance policies, ensuring alignment with ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIST frameworks.
• Provide compliance reports and risk assessments, helping to mitigate identity-related security risks.
• Act as an IDAM subject matter expert (SME), working with both technical teams and senior stakeholders.

What You Need

• Strong technical knowledge of IDAM, including identity governance, access control, and security policies.
• Experience with IAM frameworks such as RBAC, SSO, MFA, PAM, and identity lifecycle management.
• Ability to act as the ‘customer’ for an IDAM solution, influencing technical teams and ensuring the platform meets business needs.
• Familiarity with compliance and security standards like ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIST.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, working with security teams, IT leaders, and engineers.
• Experience in IAM management, identity security governance, or IDAM project delivery.

Why Apply?

• Salary: Up to £51,000 + excellent benefits.
• Location: Hybrid – 2-3 days per week in Manchester.
• Impact: Play a key role in delivering and operating a strategic IDAM solution.
• Growth: Work with top cybersecurity and IT teams, shaping the future of identity security.
• Flexibility: A great balance between technical governance, stakeholder engagement, and strategic input.
• This role is perfect for someone with strong IDAM expertise who wants to shape and oversee identity security processes within a large organisation.

Benefits Include:

• Holidays: 22 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), with options to buy and sell leave.
• Pension: Defined contribution scheme with up to 13% company contributions.
• Employee Benefits Portal: Discounts on top brands and weekly essentials.
• Cycle to Work Scheme: Save up to 42% on bikes, including electric options.
• Medicash: Reclaim costs on dental, physio, and optical treatments.
• Employee Assistance Programme: 24/7 confidential support for you and your family.
• Carbon-Free Travel: Discounts on electric and hybrid vehicles.
• Learning & Development: Support for professional training and education.

If you’re ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role that will make a tangible impact on identity security, we’d love to hear from you.
