Senior Identity and Access Management Analyst

Senior Identity and Access Management Analyst

Experian Global Security Office is looking for an experienced Identity & Access Management (IAM) expert to serve as the primary liaison between the IAM organization and the Cyber Fusion Center (CFC). This senior-level individual contributor will integrate IAM principles and controls into our security operations and incident response framework. You will be a technical expert with knowledge of the threat environment from the perspective of identity and access management.

You will lead efforts to evaluate and resolve account access and privilege issues. You will partner with CFC analysts, threat hunters, and incident responders to provide subject matter expertise during active investigations and to strengthen our security posture. This is a hybrid, Nottingham-based role reporting to the Head of Global Security Administration and Assurance.

• Incident Response & Coordination:
  Be a primary contact for the CFC for all IAM-related inquiries during security investigations, incidents, and potential breaches. Participate in incident response "war rooms" and technical bridges to provide real-time IAM expertise and analysis. Coordinate and orchestrate response activities across all IAM functions including Identity Governance (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), Authentication, and IAM Governance to ensure swift remediation. Assist the CFC in identifying and containing threats by directing IAM-related actions, such as account suspension, privilege revocation, session termination, and enforcement of step-up authentication.
• Threat Intelligence & Proactive Defense:
  Attend daily CFC operational meetings, share updates on IAM threat developments, discuss alerts that are potential Indicators of Compromise (IOC). Develop and refine IAM-centric detection use cases and queries for security monitoring systems (e.g., SIEM, UEBA) in partnership with the CFC.
• IAM Governance & Risk Integration:
  Use insights from CFC engagements and threat intelligence to inform IAM policies and controls. Provide subject matter expertise to inform design and implementation of new IAM controls across the enterprise. Support risk-based prioritization for LOD1 remediation by providing context on active threats and identity-related vulnerabilities.
• Process Integration & Improvement:
  Maintain a deep understanding of current IAM capabilities, service levels, and limitations to inform CFC investigations and strategies. Conduct post-incident reviews and contribute IAM-specific findings to root cause analysis reports.

• Experience in Information Security with a focus on Identity & Access Management.
• Hands-on knowledge of core IAM domains (IGA, PAM, Authentication and Authorization).
• Experience with the modern threat landscape as it relates to identity, including credential theft, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and MFA bypass techniques.
• Familiarity with cloud identity platforms and security models (AWS IAM, Azure Active Directory, Google Cloud IAM).
• Experience with IAM governance, policy/standard development, and control design.
• Experience working with security operations, incident response, or threat intelligence teams.

• Benefits include flexible hybrid working, competitive compensation and discretionary bonus, core benefits (pension, Bupa healthcare, Sharesave, etc.), and 25 days annual leave plus 8 bank holidays and 3 volunteering days (additional leave available for purchase).
• Experian is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer. We value diversity and encourage all qualified candidates to apply. Accommodation is available for applicants who need it.
