A rapidly growing technology business is looking to hire an Information Security and Compliance Manager to support the business as it develops into a global organisation. 

The focus of the role is to build from scratch its Information Security Management System and to develop and maintain various compliance programs and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of its information assets. 

This is a newly created role and gives the successful applicant a greenfield to work with alongside direct access to the board to ensure support.

Key duties

• Undertake a broad assessment to review the organisation's security to develop improvement plans to strengthen its security posture
• Implement and gain certification for ISO27001
• Help with compliance for various standards including SOX, ISAE3402 etc
• Take responsibility for supplier risk assessment audits including testing and gap analysis
• Conduct regular audits of IT controls and provide reports on the status and actions needed to ensure compliance

You will be an experienced and highly skilled individual, able to work independently, without guidance or supervision. Your networking and interpersonal skills will enable you to develop strong relationships across the business and ensure the success of the program.

There is a small amount of international travel involved in the role, but it is predominantly London based.

First class communication skills are vital and the key to this is being able to translate technical jargon into non-technical speak. Demonstrable experience of implementing and improving an ISMS is vitally important.
