Your Team

You will join the Identity & Access Management team within Cyber Security Operations, reporting to the Team Lead – Security Engineering.

We are an APRA-regulated insurer operating a hybrid Microsoft environment across Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, Intune, Group Policy and on-premises Active Directory. Beyond Microsoft, our core IAM toolset includes SailPoint (identity governance), BeyondTrust (privileged access management), BloodHound (AD/Entra attack-path analysis), Microsoft Defender for Identity, and Silverfort (identity threat protection and legacy protocol enforcement). Identity and access controls in this environment must meet APRA CPS 234 expectation

Your Role

As a IAM Engineer, you own and mature identity and access management controls across our hybrid Microsoft environment. You will be a technical authority for Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and Just-In-Time / Just-Enough-Access (JIT/JEA), operating within an identity-first Zero Trust strategy.

This is a hands-on engineering role within the Identity & Access Management team, supporting IAM end to end – from Microsoft identity through to identity governance and privileged access management. You will work closely with your IAM colleagues, as well as infrastructure, security operations and architecture, to reduce standing privilege and minimise our identity attack surface

Your duties and responsibilities

• Design, implement and continuously tune Conditional Access policies that enforce identity-first Zero Trust principles across users, devices, applications and workloads.
• Own Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management (PIM) – role design, activation policies, approval workflows and access reviews for Just-In-Time privileged access.
• Administer hybrid identity infrastructure, including Active Directory Domain Services, Entra Connect / Cloud Sync, hybrid device join, and Group Policy.
• Partner with IAM SailPoint and BeyondTrust SMEs to deliver identity lifecycle, entitlement modelling, access certification and PAM controls across Microsoft and on-premises systems, supporting least-standing-privilege outcomes.
• Support internal and external audits, including APRA CPS 234, with evidence of control design and operating effectiveness.

About You

• Deep, hands-on expertise, including Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Identity Protection and Entra Connect / hybrid identity.
• Practical experience designing and implementing Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access models.
• Solid understanding of identity-first Zero Trust architecture and least-privilege and least-standing-privilege principles.
• Experience with joiner/mover/leaver processes, provisioning and de-provisioning, and entitlement/access reviews.
• Standout stakeholder management skills, with the ability to understand other technology teams ways of working
• Experience with SailPoint (Identity Security Cloud / IdentityNow or IdentityIQ) for identity governance and lifecycle, and BeyondTrust (Password Safe / Privileged Remote Access) or similar PAM platforms is preferred
