Identity & Access Management (IAM) Specialist

Working at Transurban is different; it’s a place where you can see the benefits of your work play out in real life, every day. We create city-sized solutions—building and operating safer, smarter, and more sustainable roads—to solve pressing transport challenges that are slowing cities down.

About the role

Secure our systems and protect our people. We’re on the lookout for a technically astute, solutions-driven Identity & Access Management (IAM) Specialist to join our Cyber Security team and lead the design, configuration, and continuous improvement of enterprise identity controls. This is a hands-on role focused on engineering IAM solutions that safeguard access to our Corporate and Motorway Systems, ensuring only authorised users and devices gain access—when needed, and only for the purpose required.

Day-to-day, you will:

• Design and develop IAM interface specifications and data flow mechanisms to Transurban standards

• Configure and implement SSO, MFA, and IAM products, integrating with ITSM, ERP, and directory services

• Engineer solutions for automated provisioning, identity governance, role management, and privileged access

• Define and deliver access control policies, standards, and operational procedures

• Collaborate with internal teams and vendors to manage integrations and system health

• Develop dashboards and reporting tools to monitor IAM performance and anomalies

• Extend IAM capabilities across business applications using config-as-code and CI/CD principles

• Support incident response and change management processes related to identity systems

This role will suit someone with a curious mind and transferrable skills and experiences, including:

• A degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or equivalent industry experience

• Proven success implementing and leading IAM solutions in enterprise-level, mission-critical environments

• Expertise in IAM, Governance, and PAM tools, including SSO, MFA, and federated access

• Strong understanding of directory services (LDAP, Kerberos), identity lifecycle, and access governance

• Experience with scripting, programming languages, and integration protocols (SCIM, JDBC, webservices)

• Familiarity with SIEM tools (e.g. Splunk) and compliance frameworks such as PCI-DSS

• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and business audiences

• Strong stakeholder management and problem-solving skills

If you meet some of these requirements, but not all, we encourage you to submit your application.

With a career at Transurban, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits, including:

• Flexible working options, including the ability to purchase up to six weeks of additional leave each year

• 16 weeks paid parental leave (regardless of gender or carer status), plus superannuation on unpaid leave

• Career growth and leadership development opportunities

• Wellbeing support—from Headspace to EAP and wellness facilities

• Share offers and discounted insurance benefits

• Team social events, volunteer days, and community give-back initiatives

We offer a range of flexible working and leave options, so you can balance your work and life commitments and interests. Have a conversation with us about how this could work for you.

We embrace diversity with a foundation of safety, wellbeing and inclusion; where everyone belongs. We treat everyone with fairness, consideration and respect, regardless of gender, gender identity, marital or family status, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural or socio-economic background, perspective, and experience – whether they work for us or not. We want to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe to express ideas, questions and concerns.

We strongly encourage applications from candidates of diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people living with disability.
