Contract £450-£500 per day Inside IR35

London - Hybrid working (2-3 days onsite per week)

6-month initial contract (extensions expected)

You'll be joining a growing Security and IT function, taking ownership of identity and access management across the business. This role is all about building structure, consistency, and control - centralising access requests, entitlement changes, reviews, and audits to strengthen the firm's security posture.

It's an opportunity to shape how IAM operates day-to-day: creating robust, repeatable processes, tightening technical controls, and ensuring the business can pass audits without the last-minute scramble.

What you'll be doing in the job:

• Owning and managing all user access requests and entitlement changes across business systems
• Conducting and documenting periodic user access reviews to ensure compliance and least-privilege principles
• Implementing consistent IAM controls across applications, integrating with single sign-on where possible
• Delivering staff training and inductions on IAM best practice and security awareness
• Maintaining and improving IAM processes and documentation - embedding standard workflows and alignment with the Head Office IAM team

What experience you need to be successful:

• Proven experience in Identity & Access Management within a financial services or regulated environment
• Hands-on knowledge of access control processes, user provisioning, entitlement management, and SSO integration
• Understanding of audit and compliance requirements around access management
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to create repeatable, well-documented processes
• Confident communicator able to engage both technical teams and non-technical staff on IAM best practices

You'll be the person who brings control, clarity, and consistency to identity and access management - freeing up the security team to focus on higher-value technical work.
