About the Role

This role involves owning and managing an established access governance and compliance program for a leading global financial services firm, operating across hedge fund and broker-dealer entities. The position requires independent management of daily operations, engagement with technology teams, and a focus on maintaining strong controls and automation.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end management of access controls separating two distinct entities within the same firm, ensuring all controls remain accurate and fit for purpose
• Coordinate the rollout of new access control groupings across systems and teams, following an established playbook and ensuring all relevant parties are engaged through to completion
• Monitor daily exception reports, investigating anomalies with system owners and determining whether activity constitutes a control breach or misconfiguration
• Administer access controls across Active Directory, Unix groups, JIRA, SharePoint, and service accounts, ensuring permissions accurately reflect required separations
• Manage physical access controls including badge and door access, floor and building separation, and weekly desk move approvals
• Review employee transfers across divisions, assessing whether a control boundary is crossed, and deactivating and reissuing system access accordingly
• Administer new department access assignments, reviewing and approving configurations for new teams as they are created
• Manage a shared resources tracking process for technology infrastructure shared between two related entities, reviewing new requests, maintaining existing entries, and removing resources no longer in use
• Review and approve new software requests from a compliance and access perspective, as one of three reviewers alongside information security and engineering
• Administer entitlements across the Legal and Compliance function, ensuring access rights are granted at the appropriate level within internal access management systems
• Conduct annual audits of access control groups and shared resource tracking on a sampling basis to confirm controls remain fit for purpose
• Perform periodic testing of Active Directory and Unix access groups to verify that technical controls are functioning as intended
• Track workstreams and report on team accomplishments to senior leadership via JIRA, and act as a central coordination figure within the team

Requirements

• Background in identity and access management (IAM), access governance, control room compliance, or compliance operations
• Experience administering or reviewing access controls within a regulated or enterprise environment, financial services or otherwise
• Comfortable engaging engineers and technology teams on systems architecture, logical access separation, and entitlement configuration without needing a technical background
• Proven ability to operate with persistence across a large, matrixed organisation, chasing resolution from senior and diverse stakeholders across business, technology, risk, and operations
• Highly organised with the ability to manage a broad, concurrent BAU workload without dropping detail
• Confident enough to flag violations and hold the line on control requirements across the firm
