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. This strategic, hands-on role involves acting as 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.

* Act as Data Protection Officer (DPO), managing SARs, breaches, ROPAs, and DPIAs, while delivering scalable training and awareness programs.
* Design and implement secure, low-overhead technical and organisational controls, oversee incident response, vendor security, and external certifications.
* Drive compliance automation initiatives to reduce manual processes and support scalable growth, conducting internal audits and monitoring to maintain high standards.
* Collaborate with teams to embed proportionate, automation-friendly compliance and security practices, and communicate risks effectively to leadership.
* 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) preferred.
