This role exists to manage security-related projects, audits, and customer security interactions so that we stay compliant and credible without blocking sensible business decisions or over-engineering controls. Scope and context This role sits within the technology function and partners closely with Technical Operations, Engineering, Product, Legal, and Sales. The focus is on governance, coordination, and communication, not on dictating policy in isolation or acting as the final decision-maker on security matters. Final risk and tooling decisions sit with the Director of Technical Operations and the broader leadership team; the Information Security Project Manager’s job is to provide clear input, well-reasoned recommendations, and organised execution. We are a growing SaaS business without PCI, PHI, or highly sensitive PII in scope, and we are not subject to HIPAA or classified/secret information regime – our security approach should be proportionate: strong, credible, and well-documented, but not theatrical or unnecessarily restrictive. Key responsibilities ISO 27001 and internal audits Plan, coordinate, and execute internal audits and control reviews against ISO 27001 (and related frameworks where relevant). Maintain audit schedules, evidence repositories, and action logs so that we are consistently “audit ready” rather than scrambling before assessments. Work with control owners across the business to ensure that required processes are in place, understood, and operating in a pragmatic way. Track findings and remediation actions, ensuring owners are clear on what needs to be done and by when, and following up to completion. Support external ISO 27001 surveillance and recertification audits, including planning, evidence collation, and managing auditor queries. Security projects and initiatives Coordinate discrete security improvement projects (for example, rolling out new security tooling, tightening access controls, or updating key policies). Break down security initiatives into clear tasks, owners, and timelines, and keep stakeholders informed on progress and risks. Work with Technical Operations and Engineering to ensure technical changes are understood, documented, and reflected in our security posture. Help prioritise security work by articulating risk, impact, and effort, while understanding the wider commercial and delivery context. Customer security, RFPs and RFQs Partner with Sales, Pre-Sales, and Customer Success to respond to customer security questionnaires, RFPs, RFQs, and due diligence requests. Maintain and continuously improve a central library of standard security responses and artefacts (for example, summaries of our controls, certifications, and processes). Coordinate input from Technical Operations, Engineering, and Legal where deeper technical or contractual responses are required. Attend customer calls when needed to explain our security posture in clear, non-alarmist language and build confidence in our approach. Security information and communication Develop and maintain a clear, concise view of our security posture that can be communicated internally and to customers (for example, how we handle data, access, monitoring, and incident response at a high level). Ensure that key facts (such as use of encryption at rest and in transit, SSO capabilities, backup approaches, and incident processes) are understood and kept up to date, even if technical details are owned by others. Translate technical explanations from engineers into language suitable for non-technical audiences, including customers and internal stakeholders. Help ensure that security-related messages are proportionate, avoiding both complacency and unnecessary drama. ### What You'll Bring To The Role We’re looking for someone who brings most of the following: 3–5 years of experience in information security, compliance, risk, or IT audit within a SaaS or technology environment. Hands-on experience with ISO 27001 (or similar frameworks), including audits, evidence collection, and remediation tracking. Solid project management skills — planning, tracking progress, managing stakeholders, and communicating clearly. Working knowledge of core security concepts such as encryption (at rest/in transit), access control, SSO/identity providers, backup and recovery, logging, and incident response — enough to discuss confidently and know when to bring in a specialist. Comfortable engaging directly with customers and auditors, answering questions calmly and credibly. Strong writing skills for policies, reports, and customer communications, paired with clear verbal communication across technical and non-technical audiences. Personal qualities Pragmatic and commercially aware: able to distinguish between theoretical risk and real-world impact. Collaborative, working with teams to find workable solutions rather than simply saying “no”. Organised and methodical, keeping track of multiple audits, projects, and requests without dropping details. Calm and credible under pressure, especially during audits, customer escalations, or security-related incidents. Comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions, and highlighting risk while still respecting broader business priorities. Why this role matters Done well, this role gives the business confidence that our security posture is robust, evidenced, and well-articulated, without turning security into a blocker for growth. It ensures we meet our obligations to customers and auditors, support sales with clear and honest answers, and make security improvements in a deliberate, organised, and commercially sensible way. ### Why us?
