Senior IDAM Engineer

About the role

At Holland & Barrett
, Our shift to a
fully cloud-native organisation has created a rich mix of internal, partner, and customer-facing systems. To secure this at scale, we're building a modern IAM capability from the ground up — and we're looking for a hands‑on IAM Engineer to help bring it to life.

This is a greenfield IAM engineering role with real technical ownership. You'll help design, implement, and run identity services that go far beyond basic access control — focusing on governance, automation, and least‑privilege access, without slowing the business down.

As an IAM Engineer
, you'll be a core technical contributor within our IAM function. You'll work hands‑on with modern identity platforms, integrating applications, automating identity lifecycle processes, and strengthening controls across our entire digital estate — from workforce IAM to CIAM and privileged access.

You'll collaborate closely with the IAM Manager, security teams, and application owners to make identity simple, secure, and scalable.

• Implement, configure, and operate our IAM platforms and tooling
• Integrate internal, partner, and customer-facing applications into central IAM
• Configure and manage MFA, PAM, and segregation of duties controls
• Automate identity lifecycle processes (joiner, mover, leaver, access reviews)
• Enforce least privilege through fine-grained access controls
• Troubleshoot complex identity and access issues
• Contribute to IAM architecture and technical roadmap

• Hands‑on experience as an IAM Engineer or similar role
• Strong experience with platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, SailPoint, Cyber Ark
• Solid understanding of SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect (OIDC)
• Experience scripting and automating IAM processes (e.g.
  Python, Power Shell
  )
• Exposure to both enterprise IAM and CIAM environments
• Strong problem‑solving skills and a collaborative mindset

• Build an IAM platform from scratch with real technical impact
• Work with modern identity tooling in a cloud‑native environment
• A purpose‑led business focused on health and wellbeing

If you're a hands‑on IAM engineer who enjoys building secure, scalable identity platforms, we'd love to hear from you.
