IT Security & Compliance Lead (London, U.K.)
We are seeking an experienced IT Security & Compliance Lead to strengthen information security, technology risk management and regulatory compliance across a growing organisation based in London. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can translate security requirements into practical controls, support business objectives and build a strong culture of risk awareness. You will work closely with technology, legal, privacy, operations and senior stakeholders to protect systems, data and services while enabling continued growth.
Key responsibilities will include owning and continuously improving the information security and compliance framework; maintaining policies, standards, procedures and risk registers; and coordinating internal and external audits, assurance reviews and regulatory assessments. You will oversee security governance, control testing, vulnerability management, incident response readiness, third-party risk and remediation tracking. The role will also involve advising on secure technology design, access management, data protection, business continuity and disaster recovery. You will prepare clear reports for senior leadership, monitor changes in relevant legislation and industry standards, and lead awareness initiatives, training and phishing-resilience activities across the organisation.
Applicants should have substantial experience in information security, IT risk, governance, audit or compliance, ideally within a regulated, technology-led or complex operational environment. Strong knowledge of recognised frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, CIS Controls, SOC 2 or similar is expected, together with an understanding of UK data protection requirements and relevant cyber-security practices. Professional qualifications such as CISM, CISSP, CISA, CRISC or ISO 27001 Lead Implementer/Auditor would be advantageous. You will be an organised and confident communicator, able to influence stakeholders at all levels, manage competing priorities and explain technical risks in clear business language. Experience with security tooling, GRC platforms, supplier assurance and audit management will be highly valued. The position is based in London, with flexible working arrangements available.
