In this role, you'll support key elements of our Identity and Access Management (IAM) capability - from engineering secure access workflows to assessing and improving how access is managed across our technology landscape and business functions.

You'll contribute technical expertise to access control design, automation, and policy enforcement, while helping strengthen our security posture across Virgin Atlantic, Holidays, and Cargo systems.

Day to day

• Engineer and support the implementation of secure IAM solutions and integrations with enterprise systems (e.g., Active Directory, AWS IAM, Entra ID, ServiceNow).
• Collaborate with infrastructure and application teams to design and implement automated provisioning/deprovisioning workflows, improving operational efficiency and reducing risk.
• Evaluate and implement technical controls for Privileged Access Management (PAM), including session recording, credential vaulting, and just-in-time access models.
• Develop scripts or automation (e.g., PowerShell, Python, API-based) to support IAM operations such as bulk entitlement reviews, access recertifications, and reporting.
• Assist in defining and updating policies and standards for identity governance, ensuring alignment with regulations
• Act as a subject matter expert, advising on secure practices such as least privilege, MFA, zero trust principles, and lifecycle management.
• Support the deployment, integration, and operation of Identity and Access Management platforms and technologies.
• Support and manage access certification campaigns by coordinating periodic reviews of user access across systems, automating where possible.

About you

• Considerable experience in Information Security, IT Operations, or IAM-focused roles.
• Hands-on experience with Identity and Access Management systems across both on-premises and cloud environments (e.g. Active Directory, Entra ID, AWS IAM).
• Working knowledge of key IAM principles and technologies including RBAC/ABAC, PAM, IGA, identity protocols and directory services.
• Ability to interpret business needs and translate them into secure and effective access controls.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to identify areas for improvement and contribute to process improvement and automation.

Company

Richard Branson founded Virgin Atlantic in 1984 with the intention of shaking up the aviation industry. Since then, we’ve grown from a small team, one 747 plane and a single route, to a global network that employs thousands of wonderful people worldwide.

We’re not just your average airline. We’re a family-centric one who recognises togetherness as a hugely important aspect of life. We support and care about our employees and their families, which makes Virgin Atlantic a special place to work and the long-haul airline our customers fall in love with.

When it comes to our people, they’re a passionate lot, united in creating something different. It’s always been like this. It’s in our DNA, and it was ignited within us from the moment we started flying. So, step on board, get ready to find your purpose, embrace your human spirit and let it fly.

Our ways of working

We’re on a mission to become the most loved travel company, but with this comes great responsibility. We must support all of our people to embrace a growth mindset. To think like a start-up and act like an owner of Virgin Atlantic and to live our values every day. Our ways of working are designed to reflect the balance of happiness, productivity, collaboration, and team spirit that make us uniquely Virgin. We have built our approach on six core principles, recognising work as an activity, not a place. The focus is less on when and where people work, collaborate, or learn, but on their performance and outcomes. This is built on a foundation of trust and celebrates the diversity of our people, embracing that we all have different work-life considerations and varying times when our energy is highest.

Our people & networks

At Virgin Atlantic, we want to inspire everyone to take on the world, championing inclusivity, activism, and challenger spirit. It guides us in everything we do as we strive to make progress on the issues that matter most. We know difference is a strength, enabling us to be a force for good for our employees, customers, and communities. We aim to be an employer of choice, and our purpose, the belief that drives us, is that everyone can take on the world. We’re committed to bringing together a workforce that reflects the society we live in, creating an environment that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion, and allowing all our people to bring their whole selves to work.

Supported by their own Executive Ally, our four employee networks are employee-led communities where our people can connect, celebrate and support each other. The networks work together to raise awareness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion across the business and, through regular conversation, inform the actions we need to take as an organisation to create an environment where everyone feels they belong.
