Build Your Career in Privileged Access Management
Helping people enter the PAM industry — and helping partners find the people they need.
PAMBestPractice Careers exists to help more people discover, understand, and move into the privileged access management industry. PAM is a growing specialist area within cyber security, identity, governance, operations, and risk, but many capable people do not yet know what the roles involve or how to take their first practical step.
Our aim is to make that pathway clearer. We want to support learners, graduates, career changers, early-career cyber professionals, and experienced practitioners who want to build real-world PAM capability. Through practical education, industry guidance, mentoring, events, and partner insight, we help people understand the skills employers need and how PAM works in operational environments.
PAMBestPractice Careers also supports partners and organisations that need privileged access management talent. If you have PAM, identity security, cyber security, governance, operations, placement, graduate, or specialist roles to fill, let us know. We can help promote suitable opportunities to our learning community and connect motivated people with teams building secure, well-governed PAM programmes.
Looking to start or grow your PAM career? Follow our careers updates, training opportunities, and industry events to understand where PAM roles are heading and what skills to build next.

What is privileged access management?
The practice of controlling and monitoring the use of privileged access.
Privileged access management (PAM) is the practice of controlling and monitoring the use of privileged access (i.e., administrative or superuser access) within an organisation.
This typically involves the use of security measures and controls to ensure that only authorised users are granted access to privileged accounts and functions, and that the use of such privileges is monitored and audited.
Privileged access management is important because it helps to protect against unauthorised access to sensitive systems and data, and to ensure that only authorised users are able to perform certain actions that could have a significant impact on the organization.
Some common components of Privileged access management include privileged account password management, least privilege principles, access control, and auditing and reporting.
