  • Experience redesigning production access and implementing least-privilege and time-bound access models.
  • Strong understanding of human, service, workload, and machine identities.
  • Experience delivering SSO, MFA, passwordless authentication, and modern application-authorization models.
  • Strong technical capability across APIs, automation, scripting, and system integration.
  • A good understanding of Windows, Linux, cloud, and modern software-delivery environments.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead QRT’s IAM and IGA strategy, architecture, roadmap, and delivery.
  • Develop identity lifecycle management, application onboarding, entitlement governance, and access certification.
  • Redesign Active Directory groups, legacy permissions, and access models, establishing clear ownership of applications, roles, entitlements, and access decisions.
  • Develop pragmatic role- and attribute-based access models and improve the automation and accuracy of joiner, mover, and leaver processes.
  • Own the global PAM programme, including the continued development and adoption of PrivX.
  • Redesign privileged access to production, infrastructure, cloud, and trading-critical environments.
  • Reduce standing privileges through controlled, time-bound, and auditable access, with effective controls for administrative accounts, emergency access, and privilege escalation.
  • Own the enterprise secrets-management programme and HashiCorp Vault platform.
  • Define how credentials, certificates, API keys, and other secrets are created, stored, rotated, and revoked.
  • Reduce embedded, shared, and long-lived credentials, while establishing governance for service accounts, workloads, applications, and AI-agent identities.
  • Lead authentication and authorization programs across the workforce, infrastructure, cloud, and internally developed applications.
  • Develop strategies and reusable patterns for SSO, MFA, passwordless authentication, phishing-resistant credentials, applications, APIs, platforms, and production systems.
  • Lead and develop the IAM team, manage specialist partners and vendors, and work closely with Security, Infrastructure, Cloud, Engineering, application owners, and business teams.
  • Maintain a clear roadmap, define meaningful measures, communicate progress and risks, and support security incidents, audits, and regulatory reviews involving identity or access.
