Hippo is a rapidly growing digital consultancy passionate about building and delivering transformative digital solutions. We are recruiting for a Senior IAM Governance Analyst to join our Hippo Herd as part of our Managed Services Team. We work at the intersection of strategy, design and technology to solve complex problems and create lasting value.

As a Senior IAM Governance Analyst within the User Access Reviews (UAR) team, you will help clients maintain effective control over who has access to their systems and data. You will plan and run access review activity, coordinate reviewers and application owners, manage exceptions and remediation, and produce clear evidence that controls have operated as intended.

You will act as a Senior Consultant delivering identity governance services in a complex operational environment. You will combine practical IAM/IDAM knowledge with strong analysis, audit awareness and stakeholder management, working closely with an Entra engineer to improve the quality and efficiency of the service.
