IAM Business Analyst

Remote – UK Based
6-Month Fixed-Term Contract
Salary: Up to £40,000
Strong potential for a permanent opportunity
Occasional travel to client sites may be required

Do you have proven experience working as a Business Analyst within Identity and Access Management?

Are you confident running stakeholder workshops, gathering requirements and mapping complex identity processes?

Have you supported IAM transformation projects across JML, RBAC, Identity Governance or Privileged Access Management?

If so, this could be an excellent opportunity to join a growing Microsoft-focused technology consultancy.

The Opportunity

We are recruiting for an experienced IAM Business Analyst to support the delivery of strategic identity and access management projects.

This is a business analysis-led role, acting as the link between clients, operational stakeholders, IAM architects, engineers and project delivery teams.

You will be responsible for understanding how identity and access processes currently operate, identifying gaps and inefficiencies, and ensuring business requirements are clearly captured and translated into practical technical solutions.

The role will initially be offered as a six-month fixed-term contract, with strong potential to become permanent as the business continues to grow, although this cannot be guaranteed.

What You Will Be Doing

You will support IAM projects throughout the delivery lifecycle, from discovery and requirements gathering through to solution design, implementation and handover.

Your responsibilities will include:

Facilitating workshops with business, operational and technical stakeholders
Gathering, documenting and managing functional and non-functional requirements
Reviewing current Joiner, Mover and Leaver processes
Capturing as-is provisioning and deprovisioning processes
Developing future-state process maps, user journeys and use cases
Identifying manual processes, control gaps and opportunities for automation
Acting as the main link between business stakeholders and technical delivery teams
Facilitating solution-design and process-review sessions
Working closely with IAM architects, engineers, project managers and BAU teams
Ensuring requirements are accurately translated into technical solutions
Supporting JML automation and identity-lifecycle improvements
Supporting the design and implementation of RBAC and access-control models
Contributing to Identity Governance and Administration initiatives
Supporting Privileged Access Management and User Access Review projects
Producing business requirements documents, functional specifications and process flows
Supporting backlog management, testing, implementation and handover
Managing actions, decisions, risks and project documentation
Presenting findings and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders
What We Are Looking For

This role requires someone who has already worked as a Business Analyst within an IAM programme or identity transformation environment.

You should be able to demonstrate:

Proven IAM Business Analyst experience
Strong experience gathering and documenting business and technical requirements
Confidence facilitating workshops and discovery sessions
Strong process-mapping and documentation skills
Experience producing business requirements documents and functional specifications
The ability to translate business requirements into clear technical outcomes
Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills
Experience working with architects, engineers, project managers and operational teams
The ability to understand complex identity processes and explain them clearly
Experience supporting projects through design, delivery, testing and implementation
Confidence working independently in a remote consultancy environment
IAM Knowledge

You should have a strong understanding of core Identity and Access Management principles, including several of the following:

Joiner, Mover and Leaver processes
Identity lifecycle management
Role-Based Access Control
Identity Governance and Administration
Privileged Access Management
Single Sign-On
Multi-Factor Authentication
User Access Reviews
Access provisioning and deprovisioning
Least privilege
Access-request and approval workflows
Active Directory
Microsoft Entra ID or Azure Active Directory
Hybrid identity
Microsoft 365 access and security controls
Experience with Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart or Azure DevOps would also be useful.

The Person

This is a client-facing consultancy role, so your communication skills and approach will be just as important as your IAM knowledge.

You are likely to be someone who:

Is naturally analytical and detail-focused
Is comfortable asking detailed and challenging questions
Can lead structured discussions with senior stakeholders
Enjoys turning complex processes into clear requirements and documentation
Can build trust with both technical and non-technical audiences
Takes a collaborative and consultative approach
Is comfortable working through ambiguity
Can manage multiple priorities and maintain accurate documentation
Takes ownership and follows actions through
Understands the importance of security, governance and data protection
Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a growing technology consultancy and work on strategic IAM and identity-transformation projects.

You will collaborate with experienced IAM architects, engineers and project professionals, while gaining exposure to a range of client environments and complex identity challenges.

The company offers a collaborative and supportive working environment where people are trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas and help shape how projects are delivered.

Although the role is initially offered as a six-month fixed-term contract, there is strong potential for it to develop into a permanent opportunity as the business continues to grow.
