Our client is a global investment management firm. About this role Job Description We are seeking a Vice President, Identity Security Engineer to help shape and deliver a major identity modernisation programme, migrating from SailPoint IdentityIQ to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an engineer who enjoys solving complex security, data, integration and operating-model challenges at enterprise scale. You will work with engineering, security, operations and business partners to design a modern identity platform that is secure, resilient, scalable and easier for people to use. The successful candidate will combine deep SailPoint and identity governance expertise with the judgement, ownership and communication skills needed to lead complex changes across a global organisation. Key Responsibilities Lead the technical design and delivery of the migration from SailPoint IdentityIQ to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, treating the move as a platform transformation rather than a like-for-like upgrade. Define the future-state identity architecture, including identity data models, application onboarding patterns, access request processes, provisioning, deprovisioning, certifications and policy controls. Translate complex IdentityIQ workflows, rules, connectors and customisations into secure, maintainable, cloud-aligned designs using Identity Security Cloud capabilities and extensibility options. Make practical engineering decisions that balance security, user experience, delivery risk, regulatory expectations and long-term maintainability. Partner with application, infrastructure, cloud, HR, operations, risk and compliance teams to resolve dependencies and keep delivery moving across a complex enterprise environment. Lead technical planning across discovery, design, build, testing, parallel run, cutover and operational readiness, with clear ownership of risks, dependencies and outcomes. Set high engineering standards for documentation, testing, observability, change control, resilience and secure-by-design delivery. Coach engineers, share technical knowledge and create an environment where teams can make good decisions quickly and safely.
