## Description

Identity sits at the heart of how we protect our customers, colleagues and technology. We are looking for an Identity & Access Management Team Lead who can combine practical IAM knowledge with strong people leadership, sound judgement and the confidence to challenge constructively.

This is not a purely operational or theoretical role. You will help shape the direction of our identity services, lead an established team and improve how access is governed across a complex mix of cloud and on-premise technology. You will work across security, technology, risk and the wider business to ensure our controls remain effective as the organisation and technology landscape evolve.

What you'll be doing:

 * Leading, coaching and developing colleagues across the IAM and Access Control teams
 * Setting priorities and shaping the strategic direction of identity services
 * Overseeing access governance across JML, RBAC, PAM, recertification and service accounts
 * Coordinating IAM controls, attestations, audit evidence and remediation activity
 * Improving policies, standards, processes and service performance
 * Partnering with business leaders, application owners, technology teams and service providers
 * Analysing identity and access data to identify risks and improvement opportunities
 * Supporting new technology, integrations, automation and identity-related business change
