Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Acuity Consultants Full time

This is an excellent opportunity for an
Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineer
to own critical cloud security transformation processes across a top South African financial services group.

Based in Cape Town (hybrid), this Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineer role is paying R800K

THE COMPANY:

One of South Africa's leading financial services and investment managers, offering client-focused investment solutions to individuals, intermediaries, and institutional investors alike. Being client-centric requires adaptability and dynamism in their IT processes and solutions, and they look for technical specialists who can take initiative and deliver in fast-moving, high-impact environments.

The company is currently investing heavily in its cloud and security capabilities, modernising how identity, access, and privileged controls are managed across thousands of users and systems. Dedicated to empowering clients with the tools needed for a lifetime of financial wellness, this organisation has remained a trusted industry leader for over a century.

THE ROLE:

As an Identity & Access Management (IAM) Engineer, you'll play a crucial role in driving the organisation's cloud and security transformation processes, modernising how identity, access, and privileged controls are managed across thousands of users and systems.

You'll design, implement, and maintain platforms such as Entra ID (Azure AD) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions including BeyondTrust, CyberArk, or Delinea, ensuring authentication, federation, and privileged access operate securely, efficiently, and in line with enterprise compliance standards. Through automation using PowerShell, Python, and Terraform, you'll streamline how access is provisioned, governed, and audited across Azure, AWS, and on-premises environments, reducing complexity and strengthening security across the enterprise.

Collaborating with IAM, Security Architecture, and Cloud Platform teams, you'll deliver authentication and access management as a service, integrating SSO, MFA, SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect to provide secure, consistent access for users and systems throughout the organisation.

THE REQUIREMENTS:

  • 4+ years' experience in Identity & Access Management or Privileged Access Engineering within enterprise environments
  • Cloud certification (AWS preferred; Azure beneficial)
  • Proven experience with Active Directory, Entra ID / Azure AD Connect, and PAM solutions (BeyondTrust, CyberArk, Delinea, HashiCorp, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of authentication and federation protocols, including SSO, MFA, SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect
  • Proficiency in automation and Infrastructure-as-Code, using PowerShell/Bash/Python, and Terraform
  • Solid grasp of RBAC, least privilege, and hybrid integrations across Azure, AWS, and on-prem systems
