About the Role
Starling is the UK’s first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking. We combine the culture and spirit of a fast-moving, disruptive tech company with the security and trust of a fully licensed UK bank. Our technologists thrive in a fast-paced environment focused on building innovative fintech solutions that help people save, spend and manage their money in new and transformative ways. We operate a flat structure that empowers you to make decisions and encourages innovation and collaboration. Support is always available through our open culture, and we value self-driven individuals who take full ownership of their work, from design and development to knowledge sharing and process improvement.

As an IAM Analyst, you will play a critical role in managing and optimising Starling’s identity lifecycle across a variety of SaaS and bespoke identity tools. You will bridge the gap between high-level security requirements and practical, automated solutions, working closely with engineering and business stakeholders. Your work will directly impact the security posture of the bank and help deliver the best possible results for our customers.

You will be involved in a variety of tasks including integrating systems with identity providers for SSO, configuring access governance policies, analysing roles and permissions, resolving complex access issues, defining identity and access management standards, and contributing to projects that improve the bank’s identity security. Continuous learning and innovation are key, and you will help keep Starling at the forefront of Cyber and Identity trends through research, design, and implementation of new solutions including automation.

Our purpose is underpinned by five core values: Listen, Keep It Simple, Do The Right Thing, Own It, and Aim For Greatness. Join us and be part of a team that values your opinion and embraces diverse perspectives from inception to delivery.

- Self-driven with the ability to take ownership of projects and processes
- Collaborative team player who values open communication and knowledge sharing
