IAM Engineer/Analyst - London - (1-2 days a week)

I am currently working with an organisation who are building out/maturing their IT security posture from group level. The client has completed a 3-5yr strategy and identified a need for an IAM analyst/engineer to work closely with the infrastructure team and own IAM/PAM/PIM, initially working on centralising policies/procedures, user access, permissions and then moving on to other areas of the strategy such as IAM/PAM tools and zero trust.
