About The Role
At Holland & Barrett, Our shift to a fully cloud-native organisation has created a rich mix of internal, partner, and customer-facing systems. To secure this at scale, we're building a modern IAM capability from the ground up — and we're looking for a hands-on IAM Engineer to help bring it to life.
This is a greenfield IAM engineering role with real technical ownership. You'll help design, implement, and run identity services that go far beyond basic access control — focusing on governance, automation, and least-privilege access, without slowing the business down.
The Role
As an IAM Engineer, you'll be a core technical contributor within our IAM function. You'll work hands-on with modern identity platforms, integrating applications, automating identity lifecycle processes, and strengthening controls across our entire digital estate — from workforce IAM to CIAM and privileged access.
You'll collaborate closely with the IAM Manager, security teams, and application owners to make identity simple, secure, and scalable.
What You'll Do
- Implement, configure, and operate our IAM platforms and tooling
- Integrate internal, partner, and customer-facing applications into central IAM
- Configure and manage MFA, PAM, and segregation of duties controls
- Automate identity lifecycle processes (joiner, mover, leaver, access reviews)
- Enforce least privilege through fine-grained access controls
- Troubleshoot complex identity and access issues
- Contribute to IAM architecture and technical roadmap
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.
