Overview
We’re Kingfisher, a team made up of over 74,000 passionate people across our brands B&Q, Screwfix, Brico Depot, Castorama, and Koctasto. Guided by our purpose Better Homes. Better Lives. For Everyone, we believe a better world starts with better homes. We work every day to make that a reality. Join us to shape the future of home improvement.
We have a new opportunity for a PAM Product Owner to provide product leadership for Kingfisher’s Privileged Access Management capability. You will define and deliver a strategy and roadmap that reduces identity risk, strengthens auditability, and supports a Zero Trust, cloud‑first approach. This role balances product ownership, security leadership and hands‑on technical direction to simplify privileged access journeys for engineers.
We are open to basing the role in any UK office location (Paddington, Southampton, or Yeovil) with an expectation of 12 days a month in the office. The role normally supports the Southampton site and requires occasional travel.
Responsibilities
* Own and continuously evolve the PAM product strategy, roadmap, backlog and OKRs to drive risk reduction, control maturity and improved engineer experience.
* Translate Zero Trust and architectural direction into clear PAM outcomes, epics and deliverables across servers, cloud, DevOps and endpoints.
* Define and maintain the PAM control framework, including just‑in‑time access, session management and recording, secrets management, endpoint privilege management and break‑glass processes.
* Reduce standing privilege through time‑bound elevation, approvals and monitoring, supported by strong analytics and detection capabilities.
* Ensure PAM services are secure, resilient and auditable, producing high‑quality evidence and resolving findings promptly.
* Lead PAM platform reliability, including SLOs, observability, disaster recovery routines and regular break‑glass testing.
* Work closely with engineering, security and identity partners to embed secure‑by‑default behaviours and clear guidance for privileged users.
Qualifications
* Hands‑on experience delivering PAM across servers, cloud and DevOps, including just‑in‑time access, session recording, credential rotation and break‑glass processes.
* Experience with enterprise PAM platforms such as Delinea (preferred), CyberArk or BeyondTrust.
* Proven ability to own a product roadmap, define OKRs, manage a backlog and deliver measurable outcomes at scale.
* Strong understanding of privileged access security controls, Zero Trust principles and audit expectations.
* Engineering fluency with APIs, automation, CI/CD and infrastructure‑as‑code or policy‑as‑code practices.
* Experience leading/directing managed service partners and delivering high‑quality incident, problem and change management.
