• Support the analysis & delivery of role-based access control (RBAC), attribute-based access control (ABAC), and entitlement management frameworks. 

• Support audit and assurance activities, producing architectural documentation and evidence as required. 

• Act as the subject matter expert (SME) for IAM solutions, advising stakeholders and product teams on identity-related risks, capabilities and mitigations. 

• Bring a “customer first” mindset to ensure that user experience remains a priority in the delivery of IAM services. 

• Evaluate and support recommendations for IAM vendor solutions and tooling, contributing to procurement and commercial decisions. 

• Act as a coach or mentor to junior colleagues to further IAM within Flutter

• Experience in regulated industries (financial services, gaming, healthcare). 

• Strategic thinking - ability to connect IAM decisions to broader business and security outcomes.
