Job description

Identity and Access Management (IAM) Specialist (Full-Time)

Your challenge

• Support the transition of IAM into a mature 2LoD governance function by defining challenge mechanisms, monitoring frameworks, and escalation practices. Contribute to the continuous improvement of IAM monitoring and control effectiveness.
• Develop and refine the IAM governance framework and support the evolution of the enterprise-wide IAM operating model as responsibilities are shifted to the first line.
• Provide independent challenges to ensure that policies, standards, and the operating model are risk-appropriate, effective, and aligned with the bank’s international context.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the 1LoD-IAM implementation and identify necessary organizational, procedural, and IT adjustments.
• Ensure alignment with the IAM policy and architecture.
• Provide monitoring of the business role catalog, business contexts, and business-to-IT mappings.
• Challenges related to decisions made by the 1LoD to ensure consistency, least-privilege design, and compliance with governance and regulatory expectations.
• Provide governance and compliance guidance for new business units, organizational changes, and strategic initiatives. Ensure that IAM requirements and policies are appropriately integrated into 1LoD planning and implementation.
• Monitor the effectiveness of business role instance assignment processes and address unusual or high-risk access scenarios. Monitor key IAM control indicators, oversee 1LoD remediation activities, and strengthen quality criteria without assuming operational responsibility.
• Conduct IAM risk assessments, compliance monitoring, and governance audits. Validate policy exceptions and monitor separation of duties (SoD) management. Monitor IAM-related certification campaigns and support audits with detailed evidence and insights.

Your profile

• Strong analytical and data-driven skills, with the ability to interpret complex IAM and access-related data, identify anomalies, and translate insights into governance actions. Experience with analytics or visualization tools is a strong plus.
• A deep understanding of banking operations, including organizational structures, core processes, customer-facing activities, and how these translate into access requirements. The ability to align business models with IAM governance needs is critical.
• Solid expertise in IAM governance and access control concepts such as ABAC and segregation of duties.
• A proactive, structured, and service-oriented approach, with the ability to manage complex projects from start to finish while maintaining strong engagement with stakeholders.
• Relevant academic background in information security, computer science, risk management, or business administration
