Job description

Capitole is growing fast, and we want you to be part of the journey! We’re looking for an IAM Transformation Lead with 8 years of experience to join our amazing team.

Responsibilities

• Lead the IAM team of two business analysts and three integration engineers, setting priorities and maintaining high standards of delivery.
• Own the end-to-end implementation of the IGA platform, from planning and configuration through application onboarding, testing, and go-live.
• Manage programme scope, milestones, budget, risks, dependencies, and progress reporting.
• Coordinate the implementation partner, platform vendor, managed services, and internal teams.
• Define and maintain IAM policies, standards, procedures, and the target operating model.
• Design and operate IAM controls, ensuring they run on schedule and produce audit-ready evidence.
• Manage IAM risks, exceptions, audits, and regulatory reviews.
• Define business roles, authorization concepts, access permissions, and segregation‑of‑duties rules.
• Drive adoption of the group IAM operating model across portfolio companies.
• Coordinate joiner, mover, and leaver processes with HR, service desk, and infrastructure teams.
• Define and track IAM KPIs and maturity metrics, and report IAM posture and progress to senior management.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in IAM, information security, governance, or risk, including at least 2 years in a leadership or ownership role.
• Proven experience building an IAM or control function from the ground up.
• Experience delivering at least one IGA platform implementation end to end.

What we’re looking for in you

• A hands‑on IAM leader who can turn a completed design into a functioning programme and platform.
• Someone comfortable taking ownership and making decisions in a newly established function with limited precedent.
• A self‑directed programme leader who can drive delivery without relying on a PMO.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, especially across teams and companies without direct authority.
• The ability to explain IAM risks and priorities in business terms and gain support from senior stakeholders.
• A practical, analytical approach to access data, governance, and problem-solving.

• €1,200/year for your professional development (trainings, events, certifications…)
• Monthly feedback sessions with your team to keep learning and growing
• Private health insurance fully covered by Capitole
• Payflow benefits (meal, transport, childcare vouchers)
