PAM Analyst

Client Deployment Role Description

Albany Beck is seeking an experienced PAM Analyst to support the continued development and operationalisation of a major PAM programme within a regulated Financial Services environment. This is not a pure engineering position. The role requires someone who combines strong knowledge of Privileged Access Management with business analysis, programme coordination, and stakeholder engagement experience. The successful candidate will act as the link between PAM engineers, technology teams, platform owners, end users, and senior stakeholders. They will help coordinate onboarding activity, improve existing processes, drive user adoption, and ensure the PAM capability is embedded effectively across the organisation. Applicants must have experience working with at least one major enterprise PAM platform, such as CyberArk, Delinea, or BeyondTrust.

• Facilitate workshops to define requirements, resolve issues, and agree delivery approaches.
• Maintain clear traceability between requirements, technical delivery, and business outcomes.
• Explain PAM capabilities, requirements, and security controls to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Build strong relationships with technology leads, end-user teams, security functions, and senior stakeholders.
• Support teams through the PAM onboarding journey, ensuring responsibilities and expectations are understood.
• Develop communications, onboarding packs, process guides, and user documentation.
• Identify barriers to PAM adoption and develop targeted plans to address them.
• Drive greater use of the PAM platform across existing and newly onboarded teams.
• Provide structured guidance and support to improve user readiness and engagement.
• Review existing PAM methodologies and recommend practical improvements.

• Support alignment with internal security policies, regulatory expectations, and recognised cybersecurity standards.
• Ensure PAM controls and onboarding activities are appropriately documented and evidenced.
• Contribute to the definition and monitoring of PAM KPIs, KRIs, and control measures.
• Support access reviews, privileged account recertification, and exception management activities.
• Assist with orphan account identification and remediation.
• Support internal and external audit preparation by maintaining clear processes, evidence, and documentation.
