Office Location: Mayfair, LondonJob summary: Our client is seeking someone with top-tier Active Directory on-prem and Entra ID Architect experience for years.

- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal security policies, particularly in financial services or commodities.
- Troubleshoot and resolve IAM-related issues, including authentication and access failures.

- Exceptional problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and proactively.
