Identity Management Consultant

Location: UK Hybrid (Flexible blend of home, office, and client site)

Security Clearance: Mandatory requirement (Active SC Clearance preferred, or must be strictly eligible)

Mandatory Security Clearance Criteria:

• UK Residency: You must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years.
• Background Check: You must be able to clear a 3-year continuous employment history check and an unspent criminal record check (DBS).
• Nationality: You must be eligible to obtain and maintain UK Security Check (SC) clearance. Certain secure delivery work streams within this portfolio are strictly restricted to sole UK Nationals.

The Opportunity:

This is a dedicated, hands-on implementation and delivery role within an established global cybersecurity consulting practice. We are specifically looking for an Identity and Access Management (IAM) specialist rather than a security generalist. Our practice is currently experiencing a strong pipeline of delivery work. This position is built for an engineer or consultant who wants to go directly on-site with major enterprise clients, work natively with the software, and build out robust identity frameworks. The long-term career path for this role involves broadening your mastery across multiple enterprise identity tools, expanding from deployment into technical architecture and solution design.

Key Responsibilities:

• Technical Delivery: Lead the active implementation, configuration, and optimization of enterprise IAM software directly within client environments.
• Core Engineering: Move past high-level strategy to execute hands-on technology deployment and process improvement work across IGA or Access Management platforms.
• Requirement Translation: Analyze complex technical and business requirements to ensure real-world implementations match modern identity governance frameworks.

Required Skills and Experience:

We are targeting mid-level to senior specialists with at least 5 years of total IT/Security experience, featuring a minimum of 3 years dedicated solely to the IAM domain.

• Primary Technology Focus: Hands-on deployment experience with Saviynt or Ping Identity is highly prioritized for this vacancy.
• Secondary Technologies: Secondary consideration will be given to deep technical experience across SailPoint, CyberArk, Okta, BeyondTrust, or Microsoft Azure/Entra ID.
• Domain Breadth: Strong practical delivery experience in at least one core pillar—Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) or Access Management—paired with functional exposure to a second.
• Continuous Learning: Active certifications or demonstrable self-directed technical training (such as personal lab configurations or sandbox environments) will be viewed very favorably.

What We Offer:

• Targeted Upskilling: Strong financial investment into your professional accreditation path, with immediate opportunities to train and certify on in-demand IGA and Access Management platforms.
• Comprehensive Wellbeing: Access to trained mental health champions across the business alongside subscription access to premium healthcare and wellbeing applications (including Thrive and Peppy).
• Inclusive Hiring: We operate as a Level 2 Disability Confident Employer, offering a guaranteed interview scheme to any applicant with a disability who meets the minimum essential criteria for this deployment role.
