About The Role

The IAM Compliance Lead plays a critical role in protecting Sigma Healthcare’s digital environment by ensuring the right people have the right access at the right time. This role is responsible for leading Identity and Access Management (IAM) compliance activities across the organisation, driving strong governance practices, and reducing identity-related risk through effective controls, policies, and lifecycle management. Working closely with Cyber Security, HR, cloud, technology, and retail teams, the role ensures IAM processes are compliant, efficient, and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.

Reporting into the Identity & Access Manager, this is an opportunity for a proactive and strategic IAM professional to shape and strengthen Sigma Healthcare’s identity governance capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to IAM strategy, roadmap planning and continuous improvement initiatives, with a focus on compliance-by-design and operational efficiency.
• Own and maintain the IAM compliance framework, including control mappings, compliance obligations, control testing schedules and evidence requirements.
• Develop and maintain enterprise access policies, RBAC models, approval workflows, and standards to ensure consistent governance, security, and compliance.
• Develop and maintain identity persona data catalogues.
• Lead periodic access reviews, privileged access governance activities, segregation of duties oversight, and user lifecycle compliance monitoring.
• Conduct User and Privilege access certification and recertification.
• Ensure joiner, mover and leaver processes are operating effectively and that identity records, role assignments and access approvals are accurate and timely.
• Ensure identity attributes, personas, and data structures align with Sigma Healthcare’s IAM standards and data models.
• Develop dashboards, reporting and metrics for IAM control health, policy adherence, risk exposure, review completion and remediation performance.
• Design and implement RBAC and ABAC control patterns, privileged access, and entitlement management solutions.
