Reporting directly to the Director of Information Security, you'll take ownership of Governance, Risk and Compliance activities across the business, with an immediate focus on supporting the organisation through ISO 27001 certification. This is an opportunity to have genuine ownership. We're not looking for someone who has simply contributed to GRC within a large team; we need someone who understands how to take frameworks, controls and best practice and implement them effectively within a lean, fast-moving organisation. The Role You'll take ownership across: Driving the organisation's ISO 27001 certification journey and ongoing ISMS maturity. Developing and maintaining security policies, standards and governance frameworks. Managing information security risks, risk registers, treatment plans and remediation.

The organisation is undergoing significant growth, including acquisitions across Europe, making Information Security an important part of its wider transformation and value-creation strategy. You'll work directly with the Director of Information Security, have access to specialist external partners and wider group security expertise and can shape how GRC develops as the organisation continues to scale.

You collaborate naturally, communicate clearly, and build effective relationships across teams. You're curious about different ways of delivering change, open to learning from others, and willing to share your own experience. You're also comfortable working in an environment where priorities can shift, adapting quickly and staying focused on what will deliver the greatest impact. You'll also hold, or be willing to work towards, a recognised Business Change qualification such as APMG or Prosci, with experience across areas such as technology, organisational design, culture, or operating model change. Beyond the role itself, you'll share our values of integrity and respect, along with a collaborative and creative approach, and be motivated by the opportunity to use your expertise to make a positive difference to the UK.
