Identity and Access Manager

At OakNorth, we're on a mission to empower ambitious businesses and the communities they serve. Since 2015, we've lent over $21 billion across the UK and US, helped create more than 58,000 new homes and 36,000 new jobs, and supported hundreds of thousands of personal savers — all while driving economic growth in the markets we serve.

 

 

As our technology landscape continues to scale, so does the importance of managing who has access to what, securely, efficiently, and with the right controls in place. We’re creating our first Identity & Access Management (IAM) role within IT Operations. This is a unique opportunity to build the foundations of IAM at OakNorth, shaping how access is provisioned across a fast-moving, AI-native organisation. You’ll work closely with all Tech teams, Cyber Security, and business teams to introduce structure, reduce risk, and enable teams to move quickly with confidence. This role is ideal for someone who wants to own a problem end-to-end.

You’ll be responsible for establishing and operating IAM processes across the organisation.
