Senior Information Security Engineer - £75,000 per annum - Fully Remote - FinTech
My client is building a lean, automation-focused team and is looking for a Compliance and Information Security Engineer to lead data protection, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity initiatives. This strategic, hands-on role involves acting as Data Protection Officer (DPO) and embedding scalable, efficient controls across the business. The ideal candidate is collaborative and pragmatic, capable of balancing risk and agility in a fast-paced startup environment.
The role is available immediately and offers a fully remote working arrangement with occasional team meet-ups in London.
Key Skills:
1. Lead and maintain compliance frameworks (UK GDPR, DPA 2018, ISO27001, FCA AISP), ensuring policies, procedures, and controls are up-to-date across data protection, information security, and regulatory risk.
2. Act as Data Protection Officer (DPO), managing SARs, breaches, ROPAs, and DPIAs, and delivering scalable training and awareness programs across the company.
3. Design and implement secure, low-overhead technical and organizational controls, overseeing incident response, vendor security, and external certifications.
4. Drive compliance automation initiatives to reduce manual processes and support scalable growth, including conducting internal audits and monitoring.
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to embed proportionate, automation-friendly compliance and security practices, and communicate risks effectively to leadership.
6. Proven experience in compliance and information security, with strong regulatory knowledge (UK GDPR, ISO27001), excellent communication skills, and relevant certifications (e.g., CIPP/E, CISSP).
