Senior IGA Consultant, Identity Governance and Access Controls

Intelance is building a trusted associate team for identity governance and access control work in regulated and complex organisations.

We are looking for a Senior IGA Consultant to turn access evidence into clear findings, practical access rules and delivery ready actions. The first likely assignment supports a financial services client reviewing who can see and change sensitive client information across Microsoft, data and business platforms.

This is an associate contract. Work is assigned through paid work orders after client approval. The first assignment is expected to be a focused number of delivery days, with the possibility of later pilot, access review and recurring governance work.

Tasks

Working with the Engagement Director and Principal IAM Consultant, you will:

• Analyse user, group, role, permission and service account exports.

• Reconcile technical access with the business reason for access.

• Identify broad, stale, direct and conflicting access, and record the evidence for each point.

• Carry out role mining and draft role and access matrices.

• Test joiner, role change and leaver controls, including where old access is removed.

• Draft clear findings that state the system, affected access, evidence, risk and required decision.

• Support access reviews and certification so business owners can make informed decisions.

• Review privileged accounts, service accounts and integration identities.

• Support access testing for Microsoft Entra ID, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, SharePoint and connected business systems.

• Maintain the findings register, evidence record and implementation backlog.

• Support pilot testing and confirm that completed changes match the approved design.

You will not be expected to act as the overall design authority. The Principal IAM Consultant owns the target access design and final technical challenge.
