We are looking for an experienced IAM Service Lead to take ownership of an enterprise-scale Identity & Access Management service. This is a key leadership role responsible for ensuring secure, compliant, and efficient access across the organisation.

• Oversee Joiner/Mover/Leaver (JML) processes and access governance
• Act as the main contact for audits and compliance
• Manage SLAs, KPIs, risks, and stakeholders

We're looking for:

• Experience with audits, compliance, and lifecycle management
• Hybrid IAM knowledge (on-prem + cloud)

💡 Tech exposure to MIM, Entra ID, Okta, or PAM tools is a plus.
