Position Title: Associate Director, Identity Governance and Administration in our Manchester office.

Fitch Group is currently seeking a Senior Identity and Governance Administration (IGA) Engineer based out of our Manchester office.

As a leading, global financial information services provider, Fitch Group delivers vital credit and risk insights, robust data, and dynamic tools to champion more efficient, transparent financial markets. With over 100 years of experience and colleagues in over 30 countries, Fitch Group’s culture of credibility, independence, and transparency is embedded throughout its structure, which includes Fitch Ratings, one of the world’s top three credit ratings agencies, and Fitch Solutions, a leading provider of insights, data and analytics.

With dual headquarters in London and New York, Fitch Group is owned by Hearst.

Fitch is seeking a Senior IGA Engineer to drive the design, implementation, and ongoing evolution of our Identity and Governance Administration programme. This is a hands‑on technical role that bridges engineering and governance: the successful candidate will build and maintain integrations between our IGA platform (SailPoint Identity Security Cloud) and the wider technology estate, design and implement lifecycle and access request workflows, and contribute to platform development using Python and modern tooling.

Beyond the code, this person will be a credible technical voice in governance forums, audit engagements, and stakeholder conversations, able to articulate identity concepts clearly and translate business requirements into working solutions.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Design, develop, and maintain integrations between SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and internal and external systems (HR platforms, cloud providers, SaaS applications, on-premises directories), using connectors, REST APIs, and custom rules/scripts.
• Build and maintain privileged‑access integrations with Delinea Secret Server / Delinea Platform, including vault configuration, secret lifecycle, and external‑secrets distribution.
• Author Python scripts and automation to extend IGA platform capabilities: provisioning logic, aggregation customisation, transformation rules, reporting pipelines, and operational tooling.
• Design and implement joiner‑mover‑leaver (JML) workflows, access request workflows, and access certification campaigns within SailPoint, aligning them to business policy and control requirements.
• Manage the full development lifecycle of IGA artefacts — version‑controlled in Git, containerised where appropriate using Docker, and deployed through structured change processes.
• Operate and administer the IGA programme: account onboarding, entitlement management, role engineering (RBAC), separation of duties, least‑privilege enforcement, and attestation cycles.
• Maintain and develop the IGA operations portal and team‑facing tooling;
  Vue.js front‑end experience is a practical advantage when extending or customising web‑based components.
• Monitor platform health, integration performance, and connector status; raise and track issues with vendors or internal teams through timely resolution.
• Evidence of IGA governance controls for audit engagements (e.g., SOX, Dodd Frank, SOC 2, internal audit), preparing walkthroughs, evidence packs, and remediation tracking.
• Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, SOPs, and architecture diagrams; keep them current as integrations and workflows evolve.
• Manage non‑human identities: service accounts, API credentials,…
