The Role
We’re looking for an experienced IAM / User Access Management Security Consultant to join a high-profile change and transformation programme within the insurance / financial services sector.
IAM/UAM is a key regulatory risk area. Around 1,200 internal users currently have access, but controls, structure, and governance are weak. Regulators have flagged this as a material risk, and this role is critical to fixing it.

What You’ll Be Doing
- Assessing and remediating IAM / UAM control weaknesses across a large internal user base
- Mapping current access models and defining target-state IAM frameworks
- Designing and implementing security and access controls aligned to regulatory expectations
- Producing clear IAM reporting, audit artefacts, and control documentation
- Supporting privacy, segregation of duties, and least-privilege principles
- Working closely with security, risk, compliance, and technology stakeholders
- Contributing hands-on to a change & transformation programme, not just advisory
Essential Experience (Non-Negotiable)
- Strong IAM / UAM delivery experience (hands-on project work, not just theory)
- Financial Services or Insurance sector experience – MUST have
- Proven background with IAM tooling (e.g. SailPoint, xwzovoh Saviynt, CyberArk, Okta, etc.)
- Experience operating in regulated environments with audit/regulatory scrutiny
- Track record of mapping access, defining controls, and improving governance
- Comfortable working onsite in London 2 days per week
Nice to Have
- Experience remediating regulator-identified security risks
- Exposure to large-scale internal user populations (1,000+ users)
- Strong stakeholder communication and documentation skills
