IAM Business & Governance Lead

At YORA, we bring together sharp people who want to build, challenge, and move technology forward.

We are now looking for an experienced IAM Business & Governance Lead to take ownership of Identity and Access Management from a business and governance perspective.

You will play a key role in ensuring that new IAM capabilities, processes, and ways of working are successfully integrated into daily business operations.

This is the right role for someone who understands Identity and Access Management, business governance, and operational processes — and enjoys turning complex organizational initiatives into sustainable, well-structured ways of working.

About the role

As an IAM Business & Governance Lead, you will take ongoing business responsibility for Identity and Access Management within a large enterprise organization.

The organization is implementing a new IAM platform and associated processes. Your focus will be on ensuring that the delivered capabilities are successfully transferred into ongoing business ownership, maintained, and continuously improved.

You will work closely with business stakeholders, Product Managers, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, project representatives, and IT suppliers to establish clear responsibilities, maintain operational routines, and identify opportunities for improvement.

This is primarily a business-facing governance and operational coordination role, rather than a hands-on technical implementation position.

Technical maintenance and implementation are handled by an external IT supplier, while dedicated project management resources remain responsible for implementation-project activities.

What you’ll do

• Take ongoing business ownership of IAM processes, routines, and governance structures

• Support the transition of new IAM capabilities from project delivery into daily business operations

• Maintain IAM documentation, operational processes, and clear ownership responsibilities

• Coordinate day-to-day IAM activities from a business perspective

• Follow up operational issues and coordinate resolutions with relevant business owners and IT suppliers

• Identify, clarify, and prioritize IAM improvements and business change requirements

• Collaborate with cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, Product Managers, and other stakeholders

• Ensure alignment with organization-wide IAM governance frameworks and ways of working

• Support adoption, continuous improvement, and sustainable use of IAM capabilities

What we’re looking for

You have a strong background in business governance, operational management, or business consulting, with a solid understanding of Identity and Access Management.

We believe you bring:

• Experience taking project deliveries into ongoing business ownership and operations

• Good understanding of Identity and Access Management from a business and governance perspective

• Experience maintaining business processes, operational routines, and ownership structures

• Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional coordination skills

• Experience identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing business improvements

• Ability to coordinate activities between business stakeholders and IT suppliers

• Experience supporting organizational change, adoption, and continuous improvement

• Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills

• Ability to work independently and maintain structured operational follow-up

• Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken

Nice to have

Experience in the following areas is highly valued:

• IAM governance frameworks and platforms, including identity governance, access management, or privileged access management

• Cybersecurity and control frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF, or CIS Controls

• Coordinating business activities related to audits, regulatory compliance, or cybersecurity assurance

• Experience supporting IAM handovers, operational improvements, or governance initiatives within large organizations

Who you are

You are a structured and proactive professional who enjoys creating clarity, ownership, and sustainable processes.

You understand how to connect business needs with technical capabilities and are comfortable working across organizational boundaries.

You are analytical, communicative, and confident in coordinating stakeholders, following up operational issues, and driving improvements without necessarily owning the technical implementation.
