What you need

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Security, Cybersecurity, or in an engineering/STEM field
  • 8+ years of experience in GRC, information security compliance, or technology audit roles in fintech, banking, payments, or other heavily regulated environments with EU and/or UK exposure
  • Hands-on experience implementing or operating controls against DORA, the EU AI Act, NIS2, PSD2/PSR, or UK PRA/FCA operational resilience expectations
  • Familiar with data privacy regulations applicable to the EU/UK region (e.g., EU GDPR, UK GDPR, UK Data Protection Act 2018)
  • Experience with Compliance-as-Code practices and GRC automation tooling (e.g., Vanta, or similar)
  • Technical fluency sufficient to speak the language of engineering, On-premises, hybrid, or cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure), and security architecture

Nice to have

  • 10+ years of information security compliance, GRC engineering, or technology audit-related experience in fintech or financial services with a primary EU/UK focus
  • Hands-on experience implementing technical controls (e.g., IAM, logging and monitoring, encryption, network segmentation, infrastructure hardening)
  • Experience supporting ISO 27001 and/or SOC 2 programs alongside EU/UK regulatory obligations
  • Familiar with GDPR concepts that commonly intersect with information security
  • Familiarity with DORA ICT third-party risk, register of information, threat-led penetration testing (TLPT) concepts

Worth weighing

  • Role involves occasional travel
  • Focus on balancing rigorous compliance with high-growth company velocity may lead to challenging priorities
  • Requires deep technical knowledge to translate complex regulations into practical implementations
  • Emphasis on automation and continuous monitoring suggests a modern approach to compliance, but may require significant initial setup effort
