Intelance is building a trusted associate team for senior identity and data access work. We are looking for a Principal IAM Consultant to act as the design authority on complex client engagements. You will turn business access needs, system evidence and security requirements into a clear access model that teams can implement and operate.

Tasks

Your work will include:

• Leading the design of identity governance and data access models across Microsoft and business platforms.

• Challenging discovery findings before they are presented to senior client stakeholders.

• Mapping who should see and change client, fund and confidential business information.

• Designing access rules for joiners, role changes and leavers.

• Defining roles, groups, approval routes, access reviews and controlled exceptions.

• Reviewing service accounts, integrations and delegated access.

• Connecting Microsoft Entra, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, data platforms and business applications into one workable design.

• Turning the design into clear implementation steps, dependencies and evidence of completion.

• Working directly with technology, security, data and business leaders.

• Providing proportionate assurance during pilot and delivery work.

The first assignment is expected to be a small number of paid review days. Further work will depend on client approval and funded delivery.

Requirements

Essential:

• Strong recent experience designing identity governance and access models in complex organisations.

• Deep hands on knowledge of Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory.

• Practical experience of joiner, role change and leaver processes.

• Experience designing role based access, access reviews, privileged access and exception controls.

• Experience governing service accounts and access used by integrations.

• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and SharePoint permissions.

• Experience connecting business access decisions to technical groups, roles and permissions.

• Able to challenge evidence and explain risks and design choices in plain English.

• Comfortable working with senior client stakeholders and taking ownership of design quality.

• Based in the United Kingdom and able to work during UK business hours.

• Available for short assignments with the potential to support later delivery.

Strong advantage:

• Experience with Snowflake or other modern data platforms.

• Experience with AI tools or connectors that can reach company information.

• Experience in financial services, investment management or another regulated business.

• Experience supporting an access redesign or implementation across several connected systems.

Please apply only if you have personally designed and defended an access model. Product administration alone is not enough.

Benefits

• £650 to £850 per day, depending on the depth of experience and the assignment.

• Fully remote work within the United Kingdom.

• Focused assignments with clear outcomes and direct access to the engagement lead.

• Work with senior client teams on access problems that matter.

• Further paid work when a client approves the next delivery phase.

• Clear scope, agreed days and prompt payment.

Please submit your CV and answer the application questions clearly. We will first review your fit for the design authority role. Suitable candidates will then have a short screening call and a structured technical discussion based on a real access design scenario. We will be direct about scope, dates and the likely number of days before any assignment is agreed.
