Our agile, cloud-native solutions enable over 60 banks, building societies, specialist lenders, equity release providers and a network of 2,400+ brokers to stay ahead in a competitive market. Built on open architecture and backed by deep industry expertise, our platform is designed to scale. Each year, we process over £50 billion in loans, manage nearly £50 billion in savings, and support the digital servicing of more than 650,000 UK borrower accounts. Be part of a team that's driving innovation, enabling growth and shaping the future of UK lending. For Lenders Finova offers a flexible, modular technology suite designed to help lenders move faster, scale efficiently and deliver standout digital experiences. Financial Institutions use Finova to launch products faster, process applications up to 50% more efficiently and reduce operational costs - all while staying fully compliant in a fast-moving market. About the Role We're looking for a seasoned IAM Specialist who can own the design and implementation of identity, access, and entitlements across our multi-cloud SaaS fintech platform. This is a hands on hybrid role - you'll design access control models in the morning and be configuring Azure AD Conditional Access policies or writing OPA Rego rules in the afternoon. Our stack spans AWS, Azure, and GCP. Our applications run on .NET / ASP.NET with SQL Server backed role systems. Our customers expect tenant isolated access. Our regulators expect least privilege everywhere and evidence to prove it. And our AI powered features introduce new questions about what identities - human and machine - should be allowed to access training data, model endpoints, and automated decision pipelines. You'll work closely with the Senior Cloud & SaaS Architect to translate architectural decisions into working IAM implementations, and with engineering teams to make sure secure access patterns are practical, automated, and don't slow anyone down. What You'll Do Identity Architecture & Federation Design and implement the identity architecture across the platform - covering workforce identities (employees, contractors), customer identities (tenant users, admins), and machine identities (services, APIs, AI pipelines). Configure and manage Azure AD (Entra ID) as the primary IdP, including tenant structures, app registrations, Conditional Access policies, and directory synchronization. Implement federation patterns across identity providers - SAML 2.0, OIDC, and WS Federation - supporting customer managed IdPs (Okta, Ping, ADFS) for enterprise SSO onboarding. Design and operate SCIM based provisioning and deprovisioning workflows to automate user lifecycle management across SaaS tenants. Manage identity for multi cloud environments - mapping Azure AD identities to AWS IAM roles (via SAML/OIDC federation) and GCP Workforce Identity Federation, maintaining a consistent access model across all three CSPs. Privileged Access & Entitlements Management Implement and operate Privileged Identity Management (PIM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions - enforcing just in time access, time bound elevation, and approval workflows for sensitive roles. Design and manage Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM) - continuously monitoring and right sizing permissions across AWS, Azure, and GCP to eliminate standing privilege and over entitled identities. Build entitlement review and access certification campaigns - automating periodic reviews so managers and system owners can attest to access appropriateness with minimal friction. Implement break glass procedures for emergency access with full audit trails, automatic expiry, and post incident review workflows. Application Level Access Control (RBAC / ABAC) Design and implement role based and attribute based access control models that span multiple enforcement points: ASP.NET framework level roles, SQL Server database roles, application middleware, and API gateways. Build and maintain the mapping between business roles, application roles (ASP.NET Identity / Claims), and database level permissions (SQL Server roles, row level security) - ensuring consistency and auditability across layers. Implement tenant scoped RBAC - ensuring that roles, permissions, and claims are always bound to a tenant context, and that cross tenant privilege escalation is architecturally prevented. Design and write Open Policy Agent (OPA) / Rego policies for fine grained authorization decisions - centralizing policy logic so that access rules are consistent across services, testable in CI, and auditable. Implement policy as code workflows: version controlled policies, automated testing, staged rollouts, and policy decision logging for compliance evidence. Multi Cloud IAM Operations Manage and harden IAM configurations across all three CSPs: AWS: IAM policies, SCPs, Permission Boundaries, IAM Identity Center (SSO), and role assumption chains. Azure: Entra ID roles, Azure RBAC, Managed Identities, Conditional Access, and PIM. GCP: IAM roles, Workload Identity Federation, Service Account management, and Organization Policy Constraints. Implement and enforce least privilege across cloud environments using automated tooling - permission analyzers, unused access detection, and policy simulation before deployment. Design and manage service account / managed identity strategies - ensuring machine to machine authentication uses short lived credentials, workload identity federation where possible, and no long lived secrets. DevOps & SQL Infrastructure Access Design and implement access controls for DevOps tooling - CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions), artifact registries, infrastructure as code repositories, and deployment environments. Implement pipeline identity patterns - ensuring CI/CD workloads authenticate to cloud resources using federated workload identity (OIDC), not stored service account keys. Manage SQL Server access governance - database role hierarchies, schema level permissions, row level security policies, dynamic data masking, and Always Encrypted configurations for sensitive financial data. Design access controls for database DevOps workflows - migration tooling, query access for analytics, and read replica access - ensuring developers get the access they need without standing production privileges. Implement and monitor database audit logging - tracking privileged queries, schema changes, and data access patterns for compliance and anomaly detection. AI & ML Pipeline Access Control Design identity and access patterns for AI/ML workloads - ensuring model training jobs, feature pipelines, and serving endpoints authenticate with scoped, short lived credentials and can only access tenant appropriate data. Implement access controls for vector databases, feature stores, and model registries - preventing unauthorized access to training data, embeddings, or model artifacts. Define authorization policies for AI powered features - controlling which tenants, users, and roles can invoke AI endpoints, and ensuring AI service accounts have the minimum permissions needed. Work with the data and AI teams to enforce tenant data boundaries in ML pipelines - ensuring training data isolation, inference time data scoping, and audit trails for data access by automated systems. AppSec & Compliance Integration Ensure IAM implementations satisfy SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, and other regulatory access control requirements - with automated evidence collection, not manual screenshots. Design and maintain audit logging for all identity events: authentication, authorization decisions, privilege escalation, role changes, and policy modifications. Support penetration testing and red team exercises by providing IAM configuration context and remediating access related findings. Contribute to threat modeling sessions - bringing deep IAM expertise to assess identity related attack vectors (credential stuffing, token theft, privilege escalation, lateral movement). Address AI governance access requirements - who can approve model deployments, who can access AI decision logs, and how model access is reviewed. What You Bring Must Have 4-6 years in IAM, security engineering, or identity focused cloud engineering, with hands on implementation experience across enterprise environments. Strong working knowledge of Azure AD (Entra ID) - app registrations, Conditional Access, PIM, directory sync, and federation configuration. Hands on experience with at least two of AWS IAM, Azure RBAC, and GCP IAM; working familiarity with all three CSPs. Practical experience implementing RBAC and ABAC models in .NET / ASP.NET applications - including Claims based identity, ASP.NET Identity framework, and custom authorization middleware. SQL Server access management experience - database roles, row level security, dynamic data masking, and audit configuration. Experience with federation protocols: SAML 2.0, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, and SCIM provisioning. Hands on experience with policy as code - OPA / Rego, Azure Policy, AWS SCPs, or similar. You can write, test, and deploy authorization policies in a CI/CD workflow.
