About the Role

We’re seeking a detail-oriented and compliance-driven professional to join our team as Senior Identity & Access Management (IAM) Consultant.

In this role, you’ll help ensure that access to critical banking systems is properly governed, monitored, and aligned with regulatory standards. You’ll work closely with business, IT, and compliance teams to support access reviews, entitlement validations, and audit readiness.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a strong foundation in identity governance and a passion for risk management in a regulated environment.

Top Responsibilities:

Support periodic user access reviews and entitlement validations to ensure compliance with internal policies and banking regulations.

Maintain and validate role-based access models that align with business functions and reduce access-related risks.

Identify potential Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflicts, assist with documenting mitigating controls, and track remediation efforts to support audit readiness.

Audit & Compliance Support: Contribute to the preparation of documentation and evidence for internal audits and regulatory reviews (e.g., SOX, FFIEC).

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with business units, IT, and compliance teams to resolve access issues and ensure governance alignment.

Qualifications:

3–5 years of experience in access governance, IAM, IT security, or compliance—preferably within banking or financial services.

Strong understanding of role-based access control (RBAC), entitlement management, and segregation of duties principles.

Experience supporting access reviews, certifications, and audit documentation.

Familiarity with IAM or GRC tools (e.g., SailPoint, Saviynt, Archer, ServiceNow).

Proficiency in analyzing access data and generating governance metrics.

Excellent communication and documentation skills, with attention to detail and sensitivity to access-related data.
