Outside IR35

We’re supporting a major global organisation undergoing a large-scale IFS Cloud transformation and are looking for an IFS Security Architect to take ownership of the access, permissions and security model across the platform.

This is a high-impact role combining architecture, hands‑on delivery and governance – ensuring a robust, least-privilege, audit-ready access framework across a multi-country deployment.

You will:

• Own and evolve the IFS Cloud security architecture (roles, permission sets, data + API security)
• Embed RBAC, least privilege and SoD controls across programme delivery
• Translate business processes into scalable access models
• Lead security design, configuration and governance across releases and go-lives
• Support SIT/UAT, cutover and hypercare from a security perspective
• Partner with IT, business teams, and audit to ensure compliance (SOx/GDPR/ISO)

• Strong hands‑on experience with IFS Cloud security configuration
• Deep understanding of:
  • Permissions, roles & access models in IFS
  • Aurena, projections, APIs & integrations (REST/OData)
  • Segregation of Duties & RBAC frameworks
• Experience in enterprise‑scale ERP programmes (global/multi‑site)
• Exposure to controlled environments (SOx, audit, compliance)
• Solid working knowledge of SQL, APIs, and IFS Connect

• IFS or security certifications (CISSP, CISM, ITIL)
• Experience across cloud transformations or ERP upgrades
• Familiarity with Azure Dev Ops, Jira or similar

• Own the end-to-end IFS security architecture on a major transformation
• Work in a globally visible, business-critical role
• Blend of strategy, delivery and governance
• Long-term programme with strong extension potential
