About H&B
We at Holland & Barrett, are a fully cloud-native organisation, we now operate a growing ecosystem of internal systems, partner integrations, and customer-facing platforms. To support this at scale, we're building a modern IAM capability from the ground up — and we're looking for an IAM leader to own it.
About The Role
This is a greenfield IAM role with real scope. You'll define how identity works across the business — from employees and partners to customers and privileged systems. Our ambition is to move beyond basic access control to strong identity governance, with least privilege, secure-by-default access, and frictionless user experience.
The Role
As IAM Manager, you'll be the strategic owner of identity and access across Holland & Barrett. You'll set the vision, define the roadmap, and lead a team to deliver a scalable, compliant IAM framework that supports both enterprise and customer-facing environments.
You'll work closely with security, IT, HR, engineering, and business leaders, becoming the go-to authority for all identity-related matters.
What You'll Do
- Define and deliver the enterprise-wide IAM strategy and roadmap
- Build and lead a high-performing IAM team
- Architect and implement IAM solutions covering IAM, CIAM, and PAM
- Own policies for MFA, privileged access, segregation of duties, and least privilege
- Oversee identity lifecycle management for employees, partners, and customers
- Partner with application owners to ensure regular access reviews and certifications
- Select and manage modern IAM tools and platforms
- Ensure IAM controls meet regulatory and compliance requirements
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
