• Experience as a member of a senior cyber security, technology or enterprise leadership team, contributing to shared strategy, priorities, investment decisions and organisational outcomes beyond the individual’s own area of responsibility.
• Experience defining and executing enterprise IAM strategies, roadmaps, operating models and large-scale transformation, including organisational change across functional and organisational boundaries.
• Strong knowledge of IAM capabilities and technologies, including identity lifecycle management, access governance, authentication, authorisation and privileged access management, as well as enterprise IGA platforms such as Saviynt, SailPoint or similar.
