The SAP IAM / IAG Consultant will lead the practical delivery and ongoing improvement of identity and access capabilities across the SAP landscape. This role will translate business access needs into secure, controlled and auditable solutions, balancing operational efficiency with risk management and governance expectations.

This position is suited to an SAP security professional who combines technical depth with sound judgement and a strong understanding of business controls. Experience in IAM, IAG, SAP authorisations or access-risk management will be relevant, particularly where it includes hands-on configuration, stakeholder engagement and continuous improvement.
