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. Experience with SAP access management is a bonus, but not essential, as we support clients with a wide variety of identity requirements. Experience with Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools such as Delinea or CyberArk is also highly desirable.

Your skills and experience will be assessed against the requirements of the role, and we offer two grades: Senior Engineer and Architect. The Architect grade includes additional responsibilities around technical leadership, solution design, and commercial/project management.

For Both Grades (Senior Engineer & Architect)

• Lead or contribute to the design, configuration, and deployment of SailPoint and IGA solutions, ensuring alignment with business, security, and compliance requirements.
• Implement and optimise identity lifecycle management processes (Joiner-Mover-Leaver, access requests, certifications, RBAC, SoD).
• Integrate IGA platforms with authoritative sources (HR systems, Active Directory, Entra, LDAP) and target applications using connectors (REST, SCIM, JDBC, etc.).
• 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.

Senior Engineer

• 3–5 years’ experience delivering IGA solutions, with a strong focus on SailPoint (IdentityNow, IdentityIQ, or ISC).
• Hands‑on experience with identity lifecycle management, RBAC, SoD, access reviews, and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOx, ISO27001, GDPR).
• Strong understanding of authentication protocols and technologies (SSO, MFA, Entra, Azure AD, LDAP, SAML, OAuth).
• Experience integrating IGA platforms with HR systems (e.g., Workday, SAP), ServiceNow, and other enterprise applications.
• Proficiency in scripting (PowerShell, JavaScript, BeanShell) and API integration (REST, SCIM, JDBC).
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.
• Consulting mindset, with experience gathering and analysing business requirements and translating them into technical solutions.
• Experience producing high‑quality deliverables and documentation.
• Proactive, self‑driven, and collaborative approach to problem‑solving and project delivery.

Architect

• 5+ years’ experience delivering IGA solutions, with deep expertise in SailPoint and broader IAM technologies.
• Demonstrated experience in technical leadership, solution architecture, and end‑to‑end project delivery.
• Proven ability to design scalable, secure, and future‑proof IGA solutions for complex enterprise environments.
• Experience managing commercial outcomes and contributing to project management activities.

• Experience with Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions (Delinea, CyberArk, BeyondTrust).
• Experience with SAP access management.
• Product certifications in SailPoint, Microsoft Entra, or leading PAM tools.
• Experience with cloud identity systems (Azure AD, Okta, AWS IAM).
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks and audit requirements.
• Project management or commercial experience (for Architect grade).
• Experience in professional services consulting, ideally with Big‑4 or similar.

• Work in a rapidly growing consulting firm, that delivers leading‑edge technologies and works with high‑profile clients.
• Be part of a flexible, supportive, and collaborative team.
• Enjoy a culture that values diversity, inclusion, and continuous learning.
• Access to training, certifications, and career development opportunities.
• Make a real impact in a company that values your ideas and expertise.

We assess every applicant’s skills and experience against the requirements of the role and will consider you for either the Senior Engineer or Architect grade, depending on your background and aspirations.

Competitive base salary depending on a combination of factors including level of experience and expertise, in addition to an OTE bonus.

• Pension: on joining, employees will be automatically enrolled in our workplace pension scheme
