The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior IGA Senior Engineer or Architect with strong experience in SailPoint and Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) to join our Identity & Access Management practice. You will play a leading role in delivering and optimising IGA solutions for our clients, working across the full project lifecycle and engaging with stakeholders at all levels. We welcome applications from individuals with a proven track record in implementing IGA solutions, particularly those with expertise in SailPoint, authentication technologies, and Microsoft Entra.

• Develop and customise workflows, rules, and transforms to meet client needs.
• Support authentication and access management initiatives, including SSO, MFA, and passwordless authentication.
• Collaborate with clients to gather requirements, facilitate workshops, and translate business needs into actionable technical solutions.
• Produce high-quality technical documentation, configuration guides, and process documentation.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to junior team members.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex IAM/IGA issues, ensuring smooth project delivery.
• Stay current with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in IGA and IAM.

Additional responsibilities for Architect Grade:

• Own the end-to-end technical design and architecture of IGA solutions, ensuring scalability, security, and future-proofing.
• Deliver high- and low-level solution designs, technical roadmaps, and transition plans.
• Lead technical discussions with clients, stakeholders, and delivery teams, acting as a subject matter expert.
• Oversee project delivery, manage commercial outcomes, and contribute to project management activities.
• Drive continuous improvement in solution delivery, process optimisation, and client outcomes.
• Represent Turnkey in client engagements, industry events, and thought leadership initiatives.
