IAM Manager

La Fosse has partnered with a globally known Retailer that are looking to strengthen their identity security capability as part of a broader move towards a zero trust model.

This role owns identity and access management end to end, setting the strategy, building the roadmap, and leading the in-house IAM function to materially reduce access-related risk across the business.

What you’ll be doing

• Owning and delivering the IAM strategy and multi-year roadmap aligned to security and business priorities
• Leading the internal IAM function within the wider cyber security team
• Defining and enforcing identity lifecycle, MFA, privileged access, and access governance controls across all identity types
• Driving the selection, implementation, and ongoing management of IAM technologies including IGA, PAM, and strong authentication
• Establishing robust governance for non-human identities such as service accounts, APIs, application and machine identities
• Partnering closely with IT Architecture, Enterprise Services, and infrastructure teams to ensure IAM controls are implemented effectively across AD and Entra
• Supporting the move towards a zero trust operating model
• Defining IAM metrics and KRIs, and reporting progress and risk clearly to senior stakeholders.

Required Experience:

• Deep experience in identity and access management covering identity lifecycle, authentication, authorisation, SSO, and privileged access
• Background operating in a cyber security function, ideally at manager or lead level
• Comfort working across both strategy and delivery, with enough technical understanding to challenge design decisions
• Experience working closely with AD and Microsoft Entra environments
• Strong stakeholder management and the ability to influence across IT and security
• Exposure to zero trust concepts and technologies is useful but not essential
