Senior IDAM Engineer (38871)

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.
