Monitoring data protection controls including access reviews, breach response and subject access requests
Managing a compliance risk register and working with stakeholders to resolve control gaps
Assisting with vendor due diligence (reviewing DPAs, SOC 2 reports, security documentation)
Supporting secure-by-design reviews across architecture, data flows and product planning
Tracking regulatory developments and advising on emerging compliance risks
For this role you should have:
~3+ years’ experience in a compliance, risk or GRC role within fintech, insurance or other regulated technology environments
~ Practical understanding of frameworks such as FCA, GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2
~ Familiarity with security principles like access control, encryption, logging, and incident response
~ Experience using GRC tools such as Vanta, Drata, OneTrust or similar platforms
~ Excellent documentation and stakeholder communication skills
~ Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with technical and non-technical teams
Nice to have:
Experience working in an early-stage or scale-up fintech/insurtech company
Exposure to cloud environments, SaaS tools, or IAM systems
Experience responding to auditor or regulator inquiries
Familiarity with international frameworks such as DORA, UK DPA, or CCPA
This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-trust, high-impact compliance role where your contributions shape how compliance is embedded into a growing fintech platform from day one. You'll be joining a small, collaborative team in an environment that values rigour, clarity, and proactive risk management.
