As a preferred supplier to one of our biggest Clients, I am seeking an Identity Access Management (IAM) Technology Manager for a position in Greater London (UK). This role is critical in strengthening our identity security posture, driving the transition from legacy systems (OpenAM, LDAP, MS AD) toward a modern, cloud-first architecture built around Microsoft Entra ID. Acting as the bridge between Information Security, IT Operations, and Engineering, you will ensure our platforms are secure by design, strictly compliant, and deeply embedded with Zero Trust principles.
Responsibilities:
- Define and drive a secure, future-ready AM product roadmap aligned with our global IT and cybersecurity strategies.
- Ensure total compliance, risk mitigation, and secure configurations across all AM components to mitigate end-to-end cybersecurity risks.
- Design and implement modern AM solutions, ensuring a seamless and secure transition from our legacy landscape.
- Translate complex security patterns and InfoSec requirements into robust Conditional Access policies and Zero Trust access controls.
- Oversee operations, manage L3 support, and ensure service performance.
- Guarantee strict adherence to ITIL processes, maintaining high-quality documentation, testing, and training for smooth handovers to IT Operations.
- Lead, mentor, and coordinate a team of internal and external AM engineers.
- Provide technical leadership on identity security decisions, collaborating closely with Security, Architecture, Infrastructure (Network/Endpoints), and IAM (IGA/PAM) teams.
- Prioritise workloads across BAU, incidents, and project delivery.
Your Profile:
- Experience: 8+ years as an IAM/Access Management professional in complex, international, hybrid environments.
- Security Mindset: A profound understanding of identity-related cybersecurity risks, Zero Trust architecture, and secure-by-design practices.
- Technical Mastery: Deep, proven expertise in the Microsoft Entra ID platform and identity protocols, with a holistic understanding of broader IT layers (Network, Compute, Endpoints).
- Education: Master’s degree in Computer Engineering or a related field.
- Certifications: Proven Microsoft Professional. SC-300 (Identity & Access) and/or AZ-500 (Azure Security) are highly preferred. SC-100 (Cybersecurity Architect) and ITIL are a big plus.
