Your new team

The Cyber Controls Chapter Area plays a crucial function within the Group Security division, responsible for designing and deploying effective cyber control capabilities and driving continuous improvement of the Group's cyber risk profile.

The Identity Lifecycle Management team, part of the Cyber Controls Chapter, manages core cyber security controls across the identity and access landscape. As AI adoption accelerates across the Group, the team is leading the development of a new generation of identity controls to address the unique risks introduced by AI agents, dynamic authorisation and emerging identity architectures.

Your impact and contribution

As Manager – Identity for AI Controls, you'll lead the design and governance of new cyber security controls that manage identity risks associated with AI and Agentic AI across the Group.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the Group's future AI control environment. You'll lead delivery of a high-profile Risk Management Declaration (RMD) commitment by defining new Identity for AI control requirements, control objectives and control criteria that underpin the Group's approach to secure AI.

Working across Cyber Security, Identity, Enterprise Architecture, Risk and AI engineering teams, you'll translate emerging technologies into practical risk controls, ensuring governance evolves alongside the rapid adoption of AI capabilities.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Lead the design and approval of new Identity for AI controls, including defining control purpose, scope, objectives, criteria and supporting governance artefacts.
• Deliver the control and requirements outcomes for a strategic Risk Management Declaration (RMD) commitment, ensuring milestones are achieved through established governance processes.
• Partner with Enterprise Architecture and technology delivery teams to understand emerging AI identity capabilities and ensure control requirements evolve in parallel with solution design.
• Translate complex technical concepts—including AI agent identities, authentication, authorisation, lifecycle management and delegated access—into clear risk statements, standards, guidance and control requirements.
• Navigate complex stakeholder environments to build consensus across Cyber Security, Technology, Risk, Architecture and AI delivery teams.
• Lead the closure of associated RiS issues by coordinating evidence collection, demonstrating control uplift and obtaining endorsement from applicable risk and assurance stakeholders.
• Support the development of Identity for AI standards and guidance to enable consistent implementation across the Group.
• Educate stakeholders on emerging AI identity risks and the importance of a robust control environment.

We are interested in people who

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving new problems where there isn't an established playbook. You'll be comfortable working through ambiguity, influencing diverse stakeholders and translating emerging technology into effective governance and controls.

• A foundational understanding of Identity and Access Management concepts, including authentication, authorisation, identity lifecycle management and delegated access.
• A strong risk mindset, with the ability to translate technical concepts into practical control requirements, standards and risk outcomes.
• An interest in AI, Agentic AI and emerging identity-related threats, with a willingness to rapidly build domain expertise.
• Experience designing, assessing or uplifting cyber security controls and working through governance approval processes.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence across technology, architecture, engineering and risk functions.
• The ability to work effectively in highly ambiguous environments, bringing structure and clarity to emerging problems while maintaining delivery momentum.
