Quick overview
Job description
IAM Specialist - SailPoint
Live security clearance essential
Abingdon - 3 days a week onsite
6 month contract - 550 a day outside IR35
I'm currently recruiting for an experienced IAM Specialist with strong SailPoint / Identity Governance (IGA) experience to join a cyber security team on a technically focused implementation project.
This is a hands-on role where you'll be responsible for the implementation and configuration of an IGA solution, integrating it with Microsoft Entra ID, HR and contractor systems, and designing automated Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) processes.
You'll work closely with HR, IT operations and application owners to ensure identity data flows correctly and users receive the appropriate access throughout the identity lifecycle.
Key responsibilities:
- Implement and configure SailPoint / IGA solutions
- Integrate SailPoint with Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD
- Connect HR systems and other authoritative identity sources
- Design and configure automated JML provisioning and deprovisioning
- Build approval workflows for access requests and role assignments
- Configure access certification, recertification and attestation campaigns
- Develop RBAC, role mining and entitlement models
- Configure application connectors across AD, Entra ID, SaaS and on-premise systems
- Implement Segregation of Duties (SoD) policies and access risk controls
- Troubleshoot provisioning, synchronisation and connector issues
- Support application onboarding and define access models with application owners
- Produce technical documentation, configuration guides and runbooks
- Support audit and compliance activities
You'll need:
- Strong hands-on experience implementing and configuring SailPoint - ideally IdentityIQ, IdentityNow or Identity Security Cloud
- Strong IGA / Identity Governance experience
- Proven experience integrating IGA solutions with Microsoft Entra ID / Azure AD
- Strong understanding of JML / identity lifecycle management
- Experience with provisioning, deprovisioning, access requests and approval workflows
- Experience with access certification / recertification and entitlement management
- Knowledge of RBAC, role mining and SoD
- Experience configuring application connectors and integrating target systems
- Good understanding of SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and SCIM
- Strong Active Directory / LDAP and hybrid identity knowledge
- Experience troubleshooting identity provisioning and integration issues
- Current SC clearance or the ability to obtain SC clearance
Experience within UK public sector, defence or critical national infrastructure environments would be advantageous.
SailPoint experience is essential for this position, and we're particularly interested in candidates who have been involved in the hands-on implementation and configuration of SailPoint rather than purely supporting an existing IAM environment.
