Cyber Technical Lead - Saviynt (Identity Governance & Administration)

As part of our technology transformation journey, we're seeking an experienced Cyber Technical Lead with deep Saviynt expertise to lead the design, development, implementation and ongoing maturity of our Saviynt Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) capability.

This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain an existing IGA platform. You'll be the technical authority shaping the future of Saviynt and identity governance across a newly merged organisation, with the opportunity to influence architecture, engineering standards, automation and how identity security is delivered at enterprise scale.

The opportunity

We're looking for someone who brings deep, hands-on Saviynt capability, combined with the ability to influence stakeholders, guide technical decisions and translate complex identity security requirements into practical business outcomes. You'll work closely with technology, architecture, cyber security and business stakeholders to implement Saviynt solutions that strengthen identity governance, automate identity lifecycle processes and improve the reliability, security and efficiency of our services.

You'll have the opportunity to make a genuine impact by helping build a more automated, scalable and mature identity security capability.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading the technical direction and ongoing evolution of the bank's IGA capability with the Saviynt platform.
• Leading hands on with the design, development and implementation of Saviynt workflows, integrations, connections and automation.
• Establish and maintain Saviynt development, testing and release standards and processes. 
• Translating security and control requirements into practical technical solutions within Saviynt. 
• Improve joiner, mover and leaver processes through workflow re-design and automation.
• Lead platform upgrades, feature adoption and capability extension. 
• Coach and mentor cyber security colleagues in Saviynt configuration, development, testing and troubleshooting.
• Supporting major transformation, integration and modernisation initiatives.
• Partnering with stakeholders across cyber security, enterprise architecture and technology delivery teams. 

About you:

To be successful in this role, you'll have proven experience delivering and leading Saviynt environments within large, complex organisations. We're particularly interested in candidates with:

• Strong hands-on experience developing and configuring Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud.
• Experience implementing, configuring and supporting Saviynt in complex enterprise environments, including multiple Microsoft domains.
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing joiner, mover and leaver workflows. 
• Experience developing application connectors, provisioning integrations, reconciliation processes and access-request workflows.
• Deep understanding of identity lifecycle management, joiner-mover-leaver processes, access certification, access governance and entitlement management.
• Experience integrating Saviynt with HR systems, Active Directory, cloud directories and enterprise applications. 
• Strong knowledge of access provisioning, access reviews and identity governance best practice. 
• Demonstrated experience establishing Saviynt development, testing, documentation and deployment standards. 
• Ability to lead technical decision-making and influence delivery outcomes across multiple stakeholders.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for non-technical audiences

Highly regarded:

• Saviynt certifications or advanced training. 
• Experience in banking, financial services or other highly regulated industries
• Knowledge of APRA CPS 234 and cyber security regulatory requirements
• Experience with Okta, Delinea, Active Directory and Entra environments.
• Experience with cloud identity, non-human identities and modern authentication standards
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, version control and automated testing
• Experience mentoring technical specialists and building internal development capability.

This is an opportunity to do more than manage an IGA platform. You'll help shape how identity security operates across a major Australian financial institution, influence technical direction and build capability that will support the organisation well into the future.

In return, we offer:

• Hybrid working and flexible arrangements
• A competitive salary package
• Wellbeing support, including our Employee Assistance Program, wellbeing leave and mental health initiatives
• Paid volunteering, Workplace Giving and opportunities to contribute to the community
• A values-led culture where care, integrity, trust, authenticity and respect guide how we work

If you're a Saviynt expert who wants to solve complex identity challenges, influence technical direction and help build something significant, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and help shape the future of identity security at People First Bank. Applications close Tuesday, 22nd September 2026.
