About the Role

We are exclusively partnered with a leading retail organisation who are seeking a highly skilled and security-focused Senior IAM Engineer to spearhead the evolution of our identity platforms and core infrastructure. As we transition toward a cloud-native, Entra ID-centric ecosystem, you will take full ownership of modernising our directory services and enterprise baseline.

This is a pivotal role for a technical leader who excels in managing hybrid environments while strategically driving the retirement of legacy Active Directory (AD DS) in favor of Microsoft Entra ID and Intune. You will act as the technical authority for identity, ensuring all infrastructure controls are robust, compliant, and strictly aligned with Zero Trust principles.

Key Responsibilities

Identity & Access Management (IAM): Design and manage hybrid identity configurations, including domain joins, OU/GPO design, and trust relationships.

Security Implementation: Maintain SSO, Conditional Access, MFA, and passwordless authentication strategies.

Privileged Access: Define and oversee RBAC, PIM, and Just-in-Time (JIT) access for administrative and service accounts.

Cloud Migration: Lead the shift from domain-joined/hybrid environments to Entra ID joined, utilizing Windows Autopilot and Intune for lifecycle management.

Infrastructure Modernization: Replace legacy GPO-based configurations with Intune configuration profiles and security baselines.

Legacy Decommissioning: Plan the phase-out of traditional services such as ADCS, on-prem LDAP applications, and outdated protocols like Kerberos and NTLM.

Automation: Streamline operations by automating identity tasks using PowerShell, Microsoft Graph API, and Azure CLI.

Governance & Compliance: Ensure all platforms meet hardening standards and assist with audit readiness for frameworks such as ISO 27001, GDPR, or PCI DSS.

What We’re Looking ForEssential Experience:

Expertise in Microsoft Identity: Proven track record with Azure Entra ID, Active Directory, and managing hybrid-to-cloud transitions.

Device Management: Strong proficiency in Microsoft Intune/Endpoint Manager and modern Windows device transformation.

Security Tooling: Hands-on experience deploying PIM, SSPR, and Conditional Access in a production environment.

Protocols: Deep understanding of authentication protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth2, LDAP) and their cloud-based alternatives.

Governance: Experience with Entra ID Governance features, including Access Reviews and Lifecycle Workflows.

Automation Skills: Proficient in scripting with PowerShell or Logic Apps to ensure scalable operations.Desirable Experience:

Familiarity with Microsoft Purview, Defender for Identity, or Microsoft Sentinel.

Background in retiring legacy infrastructure like RADIUS or on-prem file shares.

Knowledge of Zero Trust architecture and CIS/NIST compliance baselines.

Qualifications & Attributes

Experience: 5–10 years within IAM, Windows Infrastructure, or Hybrid Cloud Operations.

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cyber Security, or equivalent professional experience.

Certifications (Preferred): Microsoft SC-300, SC-100, MD-102, or AZ-104.

Soft Skills: An analytical mindset with the ability to lead transformational projects and collaborate effectively across Security and DevOps teams.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
