Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor. 

We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders. 

We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.  

Our Group Functions provide the services that all areas of the business need. This requires a talented and diverse team behind the scenes, who enable everyone at L&G to do what they do best.  

Joining us means helping to improve the lives of our customers and contributing to the success of the business every day. 

Identity and access management helps make sure that colleagues, suppliers, applications and systems have the right access at the right time, without creating unnecessary risk.

We are looking for an Identity & Access Management Analyst to join Group IT Security and help us operate, control and improve our identity services. You will work across modern cloud technologies and established on-premise platforms, supporting everything from colleague access and privileged accounts to application onboarding, audit controls and non-human identities.

You do not need to know every technology listed. We are interested in people with strong foundations in identity, infrastructure, service management, security or technology risk who are analytical, curious and motivated to learn. You will need the confidence to ask good questions, challenge unsuitable access and take ownership of problems through to a practical resolution.

What you’ll be doing:

• Coordinating Joiner, Mover and Leaver access activity
• Maintaining roles, access packages and entitlement models
• Operating and improving IAM and PAM controls
• Supporting access reviews, recertification and remediation
• Investigating access issues across cloud and on-premise environments
• Partnering with application owners and service teams
• Analysing identity and access data to identify risks and process gaps
• Identifying opportunities for automation and service improvement

Who we’re looking for:

• Relevant experience in IAM, information security, infrastructure, service management or technology risk
• Practical knowledge of Active Directory, Entra ID, cloud services or account management
• An understanding of access controls, least privilege and the identity lifecycle
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Evidence of owning issues and improving services or controls
• Clear communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Confidence to question access requirements constructively
• Curiosity, personal accountability and a willingness to develop

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
• Generous pension contribution
• Life assurance
• Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
• At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
• Competitive family leave
• Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
• There are many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• We’re creating net‑zero carbon workplaces by 2030 by investing in our sustainable, modern offices across the UK, all designed to bring people together and elevate the in‑person experience

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all. 

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can. 

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
