How you succeed We are looking for a non-human identity (NHI) security engineer with strong data analysis skills and a privileged access background to join Group CISO.

You will secure and govern the Group’s non-human identities, and you will use telemetry and dashboards to show senior leadership how well privileged and non-human identities are controlled across the Group. You will also build towards securing agentic AI.

The role is weighted as follows: NHI and agentic AI security (60%): discovering, governing and monitoring machine and AI agent identities, operating within the direction set by enterprise identity architecture. NHI lifecycle management is the established foundation of this part of the role. Agentic AI security is a capability the role will build towards as the Group’s AI platforms mature.

Security data analysis (40%): turning privileged access and identity telemetry into reliable insight for decision-making and using it to drive remediation.

What you do NHI Lifecycle and Identity Governance Discovery and inventory: Build and maintain discovery and inventory of NHIs, including service accounts, API credentials, workload identities (managed identities and service principals) and AI agents, and identify shadow or unowned identities.

Ownership and lifecycle: Map each NHI to an accountable human owner, and track the lifecycle of credentials, tokens, certificates and SSH keys (issuance, rotation, expiry and revocation), including secrets held in vaults, cloud secrets managers and CI/CD pipelines.

Certificate and key hygiene: Use PKI and certificate lifecycle data and SSH key inventories to find expiring, unmanaged or weak credentials and drive their renewal or retirement. Identity governance operations: Operate NHI and agent lifecycle controls on the Group’s identity governance and administration (IGA) platform, under the standards and direction of enterprise identity architecture.

This role implements and operates; enterprise standards are set by enterprise identity architecture, with VP-level input. Security Data Analysis Dashboards for senior leadership: Build and run dashboards covering privileged account coverage, credential rotation compliance, non-compliant accounts, account lifecycle and NHI owner coverage. Define the metrics with stakeholders and keep their meaning consistent over time.

Analytics and insight: Turn raw security and identity data into trend analysis, anomaly detection and risk indicators that help leaders prioritise action. Who you are Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Data Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Working knowledge of PKI and certificate lifecycle management, SSH key management, and workload identities such as managed identities and service principals on cloud platforms.

Working knowledge of API and token security with OAuth/OIDC or similar standards. Sound understanding of privileged access concepts: account lifecycle, credential vaulting and rotation, least privilege, just-in-time access and session monitoring. Hands-on skills in data analysis and modelling, SQL and Python, pipeline automation and dashboard construction.

Ability to explain technical risk and data findings clearly to senior non-technical stakeholders. Preferred experience Familiarity with agentic AI identity risks, such as agent credentials, tool access, delegated authority and privilege drift, or a clear interest in developing this expertise.

Experience with cloud-native secrets management and CI/CD pipeline security tooling, such as GitHub Secrets, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault and cloud KMS, for machine identity and token lifecycle in automated engineering pipelines. Experience building dashboards on a platform (e.g., Power BI), with log analytics tools.
