This is an opportunity to join a high-profile programme responsible for strengthening Privileged Access Management (PAM) governance, improving access controls and delivering sustainable identity processes across a complex, highly regulated enterprise.

- Working closely with Security, IAM, Infrastructure and Business stakeholders
- Supporting role modelling, RBAC, access reviews and recertification activities
- Developing user guides, quick reference materials and training documentation
- Supporting testing, implementation and successful business adoption
- Performing impact assessments and identifying business risks
- Helping define pragmatic solutions that balance governance, security and operational efficiency
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years' experience as an IAM Business Analyst or PAM Business Analyst
- Strong knowledge of Identity & Access Management principles
- Hands‑on experience with Privileged Access Management governance
- Experience with CyberArk, SailPoint, Delinea, BeyondTrust or similar IAM/PAM technologies
- Strong understanding of RBAC, access certification, privileged account governance and least‑privilege principles
- Excellent BPMN process mapping and business process documentation skills
- Experience writing BRDs, user stories, functional specifications and process documentation
- Strong stakeholder management and workshop facilitation experience
- Experience delivering within highly regulated environments such as Financial Services
You'll Stand Out If You Have Experience With
- CyberArk
- SailPoint
- Delinea
- BeyondTrust
- Active Directory
- Identity Governance & Administration (IGA)
- Privileged Access Management (PAM)
- Access Reviews & Recertification
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
- Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP)
- Joiner, Mover & Leaver (JML) processes
- ServiceNow
- Agile delivery methodologies
Why Apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a strategic cyber security programme where Identity & Access Management sits at the heart of the organisation's technology and regulatory agenda.
You will work alongside senior security leaders, architects and engineering teams on enterprise‑scale initiatives that directly influence how privileged access is governed across a global organisation.
