IDAM Security Manager (38872)

About H&B

At Holland & Barrett, we're a 200-year-old startup in the middle of a major digital evolution. As a fully cloud-native organisation, we now operate a growing ecosystem of internal systems, partner integrations, and customer-facing platforms. To support this at scale, we're building a modern IAM capability from the ground up — and we're looking for an IAM leader to own it.

About the Role

This is a greenfield IAM role with real scope. You'll define how identity works across the business — from employees and partners to customers and privileged systems. Our ambition is to move beyond basic access control to strong identity governance, with least privilege, secure-by-default access, and frictionless user experience.

The Role

As IAM Manager, you'll be the strategic owner of identity and access across Holland & Barrett. You'll set the vision, define the roadmap, and lead a team to deliver a scalable, compliant IAM framework that supports both enterprise and customer-facing environments.

You'll work closely with security, IT, HR, engineering, and business leaders, becoming the go-to authority for all identity-related matters.

What You'll Do

  • Define and deliver the enterprise-wide IAM strategy and roadmap

  • Build and lead a high-performing IAM team

  • Architect and implement IAM solutions covering IAM, CIAM, and PAM

  • Own policies for MFA, privileged access, segregation of duties, and least privilege

  • Oversee identity lifecycle management for employees, partners, and customers

  • Partner with application owners to ensure regular access reviews and certifications

  • Select and manage modern IAM tools and platforms

  • Ensure IAM controls meet regulatory and compliance requirements

Key Requirement
  • Senior-level experience in Identity & Access Management
  • Deep knowledge of IAM, PAM, MFA, federation, and identity governance
  • Experience delivering IAM solutions across enterprise and customer-facing systems
  • Hands-on knowledge of platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, SailPoint, CyberArk
  • Strong understanding of SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect (OIDC)
  • Excellent leadership and stakeholder management skills
  • A strategic mindset with the ability to turn vision into delivery

Why Holland & Barrett?

  • Build an IAM function from scratch with genuine ownership
  • Modern, cloud-native environment with strong executive support
  • A purpose-driven business focused on health and wellbeing

If you're excited about shaping the future of identity for a global brand, we'd love to hear from you.
