A fast-growing UK digital financial services organisation is about to execute a major identity transformation.

Two legacy authentication platforms.

Millions of users.

Regulated environment.

Zero appetite for customer disruption.

Lead the migration of customer identity and authentication services onto a modern CIAM platform powered by Ping Identity / Forge Rock — delivered with the support of a top-tier Systems Integrator.

It’s time‑critical.

It’s high-visibility.

And it needs someone who’s done this before.
