Senior Idam Engineer

London, United Kingdom

Job Description

About the role:
At Holland & Barrett, we're over a century old - and building like a startup. 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.
The Role
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.
What You'll Do
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
Key requirements:

Hands-on experience as an IAM Engineer or similar role
Strong experience with platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, SailPoint, CyberArk
Solid understanding of SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect (OIDC)
Experience scripting and automating IAM processes (e.g. Python, PowerShell)
Exposure to both enterprise IAM and CIAM environments
Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset
Why Holland & Barrett?
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.
