Zero appetite for customer disruption.

Your job?

Lead the migration of customer identity and authentication services onto a modern CIAM platform powered by Ping Identity / ForgeRock — delivered with the support of a top-tier Systems Integrator.

• Experience within UK regulated financial services
• Confidence managing SI-led delivery models

Bonus Points For :

• CIAM deployments running on Kubernetes (AKS, EKS, or on-prem)
• Parallel-run and phased migration experience
• Exposure to digital banking, payments, or high-scale B2C platforms

Why This One’s Interesting :

• High-impact, visible programme
• Real transformation, not incremental change
