Job Description

Identity Engineer £55,000 to £65,000 plus great benefits (Work Level 5) Manchester City Centre | Hybrid (spending a minimum of two days a month in the office)

Looking for a role where information security and identity management is at the heart of everything you do? Enjoy tackling complex challenges and inspiring colleagues to stay secure? If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

We’re looking for an Identity Engineer to join our Information Security team in Manchester. In this role, you’ll play a key part in shaping our identity and access management strategy, making sure our colleagues, partners, and suppliers have the right access, to the right systems, at the right time.

In this role, you’ll work across different parts of our Co-op, designing and delivering solutions that improve processes and strengthen security. From single sign-on and automated access for joiners, movers, and leavers, to role-based controls, you’ll help us make things simpler and safer.

Why this role matters

We’re in an exciting period of growth at Co-op. As the digital landscape evolves, it’s vital that we stay ahead of cyber threats. You’ll help shape our identity and access management approach, making sure the right people can securely access the right platforms. We’re driving improvements in Co-op’s information security maturity with identity engineering at the heart of everything we do. This is your opportunity to influence this and make a real difference.

What you’ll do

  • Maintain and deliver strategic improvement across key systems like Active Directory, SailPoint IdentityIQ, Azure AD/EntraID, and One Identity Active Roles
  • Keep systems running smoothly, with no capacity or outstanding issues
  • Align identity platforms and capabilities with the needs of our business
  • Contribute to projects such as identity maturity initiatives, new application rollouts, and process improvements
  • Build strong relationships internally and externally to drive innovation and service improvements
  • Manage day-to-day activities with third-party providers, including escalations and knowledge sharing
  • Have the opportunity to join our on-call rota once you’re settled in to your role

What you’ll bring

  • Experience working with identity platforms within an enterprise organisation
  • Experience working on projects, including service transition
  • Knowledge of at least one of the following: Active Directory, Azure AD/Entra ID, IdentityIQ, Active Roles
  • Strong collaboration and relationship-building skills
  • An innovative mindset, with an openness to learn new technologies and adapt to change

We know some people may hesitate to apply if they don’t meet every requirement. At Co-op, we’re committed to building diverse and inclusive teams, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly, we still encourage you to apply.

We’re also open to applications from people who may require flexible working arrangements. There’ll be an opportunity to discuss your flexible working requirements during the interview process, and at offer stage.

  • An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance)
  • 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays
  • A pension with up to 10% employer contributions
  • The opportunity to increase your earnings by joining our on-call rota
  • Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
