IDAM Analyst – Hybrid (Manchester) – Up to £51,000
We are looking for an IDAM Analyst to play a crucial role in building and operating a new centralised Identity and Access Management (IDAM) solution. While architects and engineers will handle the technical aspects, this role requires a strong technical understanding of IDAM and the ability to act as a stakeholder (‘customer’) for the project’s delivery.
You’ll work closely with security, IT, and engineering teams to ensure the IDAM platform meets business, security, and compliance requirements. If you have hands-on IDAM expertise combined with governance and stakeholder management experience, this is a great opportunity to influence identity security at scale.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Act as the key stakeholder (‘customer’) for the new IDAM solution, ensuring it aligns with security, compliance, and business needs.
* Oversee identity governance, including Joiners, Movers, Leavers (JML) processes, role-based access control (RBAC), and privileged access management (PAM).
* Ensure authentication methods such as SSO, MFA, and identity federation are properly integrated and managed.
* Work with architects and engineers to support the implementation, optimisation, and operation of the IDAM platform.
* Define and enhance identity governance policies, ensuring alignment with ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIST frameworks.
* Provide compliance reports and risk assessments, helping to mitigate identity-related security risks.
* Act as an IDAM subject matter expert (SME), working with both technical teams and senior stakeholders.
What You Need
* Strong technical knowledge of IDAM, including identity governance, access control, and security policies.
* Experience with IAM frameworks such as RBAC, SSO, MFA, PAM, and identity lifecycle management.
* Ability to act as the ‘customer’ for an IDAM solution, influencing technical teams and ensuring the platform meets business needs.
* Familiarity with compliance and security standards like ISO 27001, GDPR, and NIST.
* Strong stakeholder management skills, working with security teams, IT leaders, and engineers.
* Experience in IAM management, identity security governance, or IDAM project delivery.
Why Apply?
* Salary: Up to £51,000 + excellent benefits.
* Location: Hybrid – 2-3 days per week in Manchester.
* Impact: Play a key role in delivering and operating a strategic IDAM solution.
* Growth: Work with top cybersecurity and IT teams, shaping the future of identity security.
* Flexibility: A great balance between technical governance, stakeholder engagement, and strategic input.
* This role is perfect for someone with strong IDAM expertise who wants to shape and oversee identity security processes within a large organisation.
Benefits Include:
* Holidays: 22 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), with options to buy and sell leave.
* Pension: Defined contribution scheme with up to 13% company contributions.
* Employee Benefits Portal: Discounts on top brands and weekly essentials.
* Cycle to Work Scheme: Save up to 42% on bikes, including electric options.

If you’re ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role that will make a tangible impact on identity security, we’d love to hear from you.
