Reporting into the GRC Manager, you will work closely with Engineering, Privacy, Legal, People Team, and other functions and business stakeholders to ensure our compliance posture remains robust, scalable, and aligned with frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other applicable regulatory requirements.

Support external audits and certifications (e.g. ISO 27001 surveillance/recertification audits, SOC 2 assessments), including evidence collection, control walkthroughs, and auditor coordination.

Develop, review, and maintain security policies, standards, and procedures to ensure they remain current, effective, and aligned to business and regulatory requirements.

Perform assurance activities to validate control design and operating effectiveness, identifying gaps and driving remediation plans where needed.

Operate and improve the third-party risk management programme, including supplier risk assessments, due diligence reviews, and ongoing monitoring of critical vendors.

Track and report on compliance metrics, audit findings, risk trends, and remediation progress to Information Security leadership and relevant governance forums.

Partner with Engineering, Product, Privacy, Legal, People Team, and other business units to embed security and compliance requirements into processes and initiatives.

Support continuous improvement initiatives across the GRC function, helping to streamline processes, enhance tooling, and improve reporting and visibility.

Familiarity with third-party risk management processes and supplier assurance activities.

Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate regulatory and technical requirements into clear, practical guidance for business stakeholders.
